New Data Backs Up Details in a Fatal 2018 Tesla Model X Crash - Autopilot Newly released documents confirm that the driver experienced a glitch multiple times before the deadly crash, though it’s unclear whether he reported it to Tesla.
On March 23, 2018, a glitch in Tesla's Autopilot technology contributed to the death of Walter Huang in Mountain View, California. As Huang's Model X approached a left exit on US Highway 101, the software apparently got the lane lines mixed up. The car steered to the left, putting itself in the space between the diverging lanes. Seconds later, it crashed into a concrete lane divider at 70 miles per hour. Huang was taken to the hospital but died soon afterward.
The documents confirm a claim by Walter Huang's family that he had experienced this particular glitch, in this particular spot, multiple times prior to the crash. He complained to family and friends about the issue. However, the NTSB was not able to confirm another key claim: that Huang had reported the issue to Tesla.
A Model X Tesla on Autopilot, which has glitched in the exact same spot on multiple occasions before, accelerated and veered into the median killing Mr Huang. This lawsuit Tesla settled out of court back in April. Not only does settling admit that Teslas technology was at fault, Tesla was able to keep the details sealed from the public.
We are unlikely ever to know the terms of Tesla's settlement with Huang's family. The company asked the court to seal the terms to prevent others from perceiving "the settlement amount as evidence of Tesla’s potential liability for losses, which may have a chilling effect on settlement opportunity in subsequent cases."
The following collection of accidents are 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 core problem is hardware related not driver/software. When nearly the same things occurs across a diverse collection of use cases regardless of model & year, the only logical conclusion is that there is something wrong with the vehicles themselves and that they pose a significant danger to society. I focus specifically on accidents where the Teslas may have suddenly accelerated and/or veered 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 just "computers on wheels" susceptible to EMI. Im also noting the Model to showcase this issue impacts every model and year of Tesla. Only model missing atm is a roadster as very few were produced and are less likely to be driven.
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. 2 Autopilot cases 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.
