Seriously ridiculous. Operator error and people like that scream at Tesla. Ass backwards mindset.

Did you not read through the evidence suggesting it was the Tesla that glitched, that this sort of thing has happened to other people including video evidence of it, that Tesla is aware an outside force can cause its vehicles to do things like that, and that the media claims EM radiation can cause it?

There is indication that her Tesla did in fact glitch and drove Ms Chao into the pond.

The report said Chao left the lodge at 11:37 p.m. and, wrapped in a blanket, got in her Tesla. She apparently intended to drive to another house in the compound. Surveillance video shows the car lurching forward, then reversing over a limestone block wall at the edge of the pond.

Right there, the Tesla lurched forward suggesting that she had in fact put it into drive and then suddenly it reversed; this is not unlike the behavior of another Tesla accident ive posted that suddenly surged forward before reversing itself (included in second part of this post). That incident was also caught on camera but shared with the public. Incidentally the media blamed Electromagnetic interference as possible cause.
Its likely the lurch forward behavior before the accelerated reversing, combined with possible distance she reversed, likely prompted investigators to consider the accident to be strange from the onset. The revelation that she was intoxicated would have been known by investigators within the first 24 hours but only recently confirmed by blood work. Used more to mislead the public from considering the Tesla was responsible for Chaos death.
It was recently revealed that Tesla is aware that outside forces can cause its vehicles to behave this way and Tesla believe its not responsible. It is responsible as long as it doesnt disclose to the public its vehicles can go out of control when exposed to EM radiation; usually during or days after a geomagnetic storm/unrest conditions.

Tesla argues it had no control in the crash and death which were "caused by a superseding and/or intervening force."

There you have it folks Tesla admits an outside force caused this Tesla to glitch and go out of control.

At least 12 complaints filed with the Department of Transportation and first reported by Business Insider are related to how Tesla vehicles are put into reverse. Seven users have reported confusion with the gearshift design, resulting in them sometimes putting the car into drive when they intended to shift to reverse, or vice versa. Five other complaints were from people who said their Teslas appeared to switch between drive and reverse without warning, according to Business Insider.

5 complaints have been filed with the DoT claiming their Teslas shifted themselves from drive to reverse without warning. I dont know if the following accident is one of those five, but below is video evidence of a Tesla lurching forward into a car as the driver attempted to park. Then the Tesla suddenly reverses itself and drives itself backwards until it hits a neighbor garage. This would be like Ms Chaos Tesla reversing into the Pond. Media indicated that EMI may have caused the accident as i have indicated may have also impacted Ms Chao's Tesla! EVs and especially Teslas are a danger to the public.

========================================

Heres another example of it being claimed in the media that electromagnetic interference is causing Teslas to drive on their own without driver input. Case study of where this has been observed in other EVs posted below. Video of the Tesla driving itself is here:

For an expert opinion, KXAN took the case to Dragan Djurdjanovic. A professor in mechanical engineering, Djurdjanovic looked into similar allegations against Tesla around 2008. The expert said it's very possible that electromagnetic interference between wires caused the accident.

Its EMI but not from inside the car. Instead its coming from outside the car which is why Teslas only go out of control like this during geomagnetic unrest. Also in 2008 it was Toyotas that were having problems with SUA.
