Yes it called Sudden Unintended Acceleration. Same thing happened to that Doc in the April 2021 incident under intoxicated driver. The Tesla was using Teslas adaptive cruise control feature when it suddenly accelerated and drove in a straight path off the road into trees despite the driver having an blood alcohol content of .15. No indication of swerving of any kind left in the tire tracts indicating that the intoxicated doctor was not in fact in control of the Tesla.

Tesla Admits One Autopilot Feature Was Engaged During Deadly Texas Crash

Investigators found that the TACC system was capable of being engaged; however, testing showed that with TACC engaged, the maximum speed possible on this roadway was approximately 30 mph.

But Moravy confirmed that adaptive cruise control was on when the crash occurred: "Our adaptive cruise control only engaged when the driver was buckled and above 5 miles per hour, and it only accelerated to 30 miles per hour with the distance before the car crashed.

Despite the use of one Autopilot feature, i still classify this as intoxicated driver.

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

Im collating accidents where Teslas behaved in very similar ways causing accidents whether its being operated by intoxicated drivers, regular drivers, professional drivers, Autopilot, or FSD to showcase the problem is hardware related not driver/software. Specifically accidents where the Teslas veers into objects (like trees) being the main focus. No amount of software updates can fix a hardware issue when its susceptible to electromagnetic interference because Teslas and EVs are "computers on wheels". I dedicate this to Jimr for goading me to do this! Im also noting the Model to showcase this issue impacts every model and year of Tesla. Only model missing atm is a roadster.

Both FSD cases, 1 professional driver case, 2 regular driver cases, & 1 intoxicated driver case, the Teslas slammed into a tree resulting in the death of at least 1 person. The autopilot case the Tesla veered off the road and rolled into a tree. 1 Autopilot case suddenly veered into the median. 2 regular driver incidents involved locked steering. It appears as though the Semi suffered some sort of electrical issue causing an engine to catch fire and it veer off the interstate into trees. The Cybertruck incident also involved locked steering but included sudden unintended acceleration.
