Technical propaganda just to destroy Tesla. Same thing Edison did to fights Nikola Tesla's A. C systems.

See better law suit


500 million dollars

No lawsuit ..Tesla is very clear you have to always have a safety driver in the driver's seat as a fail safe for the autopilot..the fact that the occupants of the car left that seat vacant voids any potential law suit

No pain, no gain. Throughout history, people have been sacrificed for the improvement of technology. May we not be unfortunate
Exactly, it is just one of the unfortunate happening. If humans can still make a mistake how much more a programmed machine. The thing is, they are going to critically review the lapses and improve upon it.

This will definitely indict Elon Musk. The world is not ready for driverless yet.

I learnt that Tesla cars don't use fuel. I am just imagining what caused the explosion after the crash, since it crashed into trees.

As much as this self-driving tech is a wonderful innovation from Tesla, I definitely won't take any chances making use of it on Nigerian Terrain. trust me, these horrible roads and reckless drivers defy human intelligence so trusting an AI driven car with your life would definitely be suicidal cheesy. You've only got one life

You made sense die....

Nigeria roads and road users will definitely confuse the Artificial Intelligence embedded in Tesla's cars.

Two men have died after a Tesla vehicle, which was believed to be operating without anyone in the driver's seat, crashed into a tree on Saturday night north of Houston, authorities said.


Key points:
•After the fire was extinguished, authorities located two occupants in the vehicle, with one in the front passenger seat and the other in the back seat of the Tesla

•The accident comes amid growing scrutiny over Tesla's semi-automated driving system following recent accidents

•The US auto safety agency said in March it had opened 27 investigations into crashes of Tesla vehicles


“There was no-one in the driver’s seat," Sergeant Cinthya Umanzor of the Harris County Constable Precinct 4 said.

The 2019 Tesla Model S was travelling at high speed when it failed to negotiate a curve and went off the roadway, crashing to a tree and bursting into flames, local television station KHOU-TV said.

After the fire was extinguished, authorities located two occupants in the vehicle, with one in the front passenger seat and the other in the back seat, the report said, citing Harris County Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman.

Tesla and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The accident comes amid growing scrutiny over Tesla's semi-automated driving system following recent accidents, and as it is preparing to launch its updated "full self-driving" software to more customers.


The US auto safety agency said in March it had opened 27 investigations into crashes of Tesla vehicles. At least three of the crashes occurred recently.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in January that he expected huge profits from the company's full self-driving software, saying he was "highly confident the car will be able to drive itself with reliability in excess of human this year".

The self-driving technology must overcome safety and regulatory hurdles to achieve commercial success.

Says who... This is a new innovation and perfection will be achieved overtime. This incidences can only make it better, because, more resources will be channeled into research work on strict safety measures and components on automated mobiles in few years to come.

They won't get a cent.

Tesla autopilot mandates you to keep your hands on the steering and eyes on the road at all times.

Provided there is a provision for manual driving, na them kill themselves...
No Igbo man will loose guard like that. Fact is the semi self driving feature requires a driver seated and would stop if no one holds the wheels after some time. The investigation is dead on arrival

There's definitely more to this story coz Tesla self driving is not fully autonomous, it requires a driver to be in the driver seat, be awake and has to be touching the steering every 2 minutes or so else the car would stop.

The oil & gas industry will do anything & everything to pull Tesla down..

I read it somewhere that most of Tesla real ideas were compromised..

How is that possible I thought they said that this car cannot have an accident
If you add stupid people to it, the car will surely have an accident.
How can somebody buy car and will refuse to hold steering wheel because they told you it's automatic?
Which kind nonsense automatic? Have people become so lazy?
If you don't want to drive your car, Hire driver or use Uber.
