Tesla Denies Autopilot Fault After Fatal Texas Crash

Friends, I want to share an update from autonomous driving: in Texas a Tesla struck a house, killing a 76‑year‑old woman.

An Autopilot engineer and the company stated that data show the driver pressed the accelerator to 100%, speed reached 73 mph, and the system may have been overridden.
NHTSA has opened a special investigation, and local police will submit findings to the prosecutor.
The vehicle logs will be key to establishing the facts.

Why it matters: the incident will affect regulation and public trust in driver-assist systems.
How do you assess the roles of manufacturer and driver in such cases?
