NTSB confirms Tesla driver floored accelerator in fatal Texas crash

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from TechCrunch ·

The NTSB confirmed that the driver in a fatal Texas Tesla crash pressed the accelerator 100%, backing Tesla's initial account. The crash occurred last month, and the safety board's findings align with data Tesla shared days after the incident. The investigation continues to examine whether Autopilot was engaged.

Meridian48 take
The NTSB's confirmation shifts focus back to driver behavior, but questions about Tesla's safety claims and Autopilot's role remain unresolved.
