US authorities are investigating a fatal crash in Texas involving a Tesla vehicle that collided with a house, resulting in the death of an elderly woman. The investigation will focus on whether Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” software played a role in the incident. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has preemptively stated that the system was not engaged at the time of the crash, though this has not been independently verified. Details surrounding the circumstances of the accident remain under investigation, including speed and potential system malfunctions. This incident adds to growing scrutiny of Tesla’s driver-assistance technologies and their safety record. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is leading the probe. Further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses.
