Newly released video of fatal Tesla crash prompts federal investigation: 'They are claiming they will be imminently able to do something

In November 2023, a Tesla Model Y swerved into 71-year-old grandmother Johna Story at 65 mph after Johna had exited the front passenger-side door of a Toyota 4Runner, which had come to a stop along with other vehicles as members of her group, including Johna, donned orange reflective safety vests and assisted with a crash just after a curve on Interstate 17.

Johna died, and her family has sued the Model Y's driver, Karl Stock, and Tesla, who both did not respond to Bloomberg's request for comment.

The crash report doesn't specify whether Stock was using the FSD system or tried to take control of his Model Y before the collision. However, NHTSA data shows that Tesla reported the crash to regulators seven months later in accordance with a standing general order that requires automakers to report crashes with engaged driver-assistance systems.


I recall this accident, it was confirmed to be using FSD already so not sure why the article doesnt indicate this leaving room for doubt that it was FSD vs Autopilot. HOwever i do not recall it mentioning that the Tesla swerved into this lady. If it swerved its not a glare vision issue, its a glitch in Teslas as shown in the accident mentioned in post this is in reply to.
