Officials said a Tesla, which the driver said was on autopilot, crashed into a home on Friday in Katy, Texas, killing one person.
Tesla FSD – the focus of the Katy, Texas crash – allows the driver to accelerate. Other actions disable FSD but not acceleration.
Tesla disputes that its “Full Self Driving” feature is to blame for the crash. A doorbell camera video shared by The New York Times showed the car slamming into the house at a high speed, which Tesla CEO Elon Musk claimed in a post on X is a sign that the technology didn’t cause the crash.
