The documents reveal that about two minutes before the crash, Hunter put his car into what Tesla calls Full Self-Driving (Supervised) mode — its most advanced driver-assistance system, for which drivers typically pay extra. The car did not detect Hunter's hands on the steering wheel for more than a minute before the crash, according to a report by the detective investigating the incident.
That and other details from the police investigation have not been publicly reported before.
Hunter was behind the wheel of his Tesla Model S, following a motorcycle in stop-and-go traffic, when the car ran over the motorcycle and its rider, pinning both underneath.
"I'm the driver. I'm not sure how it happened, but I am freaking out. So please get here," Hunter told the dispatcher as he tried to summon help.
The motorcyclist, 28-year-old Jeffrey Nissen, was pronounced dead at the scene. Hunter, 56, was arrested for vehicular homicide. He told police he had been "distracted" by his phone moments before the low-speed crash.
But then, moments before impact, the report says Hunter pressed his foot down on the accelerator, overriding the car's automatic braking system — and kept it there for 10 seconds after the collision with motorcyclist Jeffrey Nissen, even though the car was no longer moving.
A 42-year-old driver told police she hit the brakes but her car failed to stop, crashing into the building.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has reopened its investigation into a potential design flaw in Tesla vehicles, which may lead to sudden unintended acceleration. This comes after allegations were made that a voltage spike deep within the control systems could cause the vehicle to incorrectly read an accelerator input, even when none has occurred.
