A highly publicized incident involving a Tesla Model 3 that crashed into a home in Texas at high speed, resulting in a 76-year-old victim, cannot be attributed to the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, according to Tesla. The FSD option had already been deactivated at the time of the crash. Tesla's activity logs show the driver stepped on the gas before the crash, disengaging FSD and accelerating the vehicle instead of applying the brakes. Tesla's AI chief Ashok Elluswamy stated the driver pressed the gas all the way down to "100%," reaching a speed of 73 mph in a residential neighborhood, and kept pressing it even after the Model 3 had hit the building. All incidents where active FSD or Autopilot may have been in play are logged into the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's dedicated database for investigation.
