Tesla has responded to the high-speed crash at a Texas family’s home, which killed an elderly woman, while the car was in self-driving mode, the driver claims.
Tesla leadership, including CEO Elon Musk, has denied that the car was driving itself.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported on the incident, where the driver claimed the Tesla Model 3 was in self-driving mode before flying through the front yard and plowing into the home.
76-year-old Martha Avila Mantilla, a grandmother, was killed in the crash.
Additional video from another residence shows the Tesla flying through the neighborhood before the collision.
Initial reporting suggested that law enforcement was investigating the driver’s claim that he was in autopilot mode at the time of the crash. The driver, 44-year-old Michael Butler, did not initially face charges.
