On April 17, a 2019 Tesla Model S crashed off the road and hit a tree in Texas, USA, killing two people. The local police who investigated this accident said, 'As a result of on-site inspection by skilled forensics, one was sitting in the passenger seat and one was sitting in the back seat from the position of the body, and there was no one in the driver's seat. I'm 100% confident, 'which suggests that the Model S may have enabled the autopilot feature while driving.

However, Tesla's vice president of automotive engineering, Lars Morabi, said, 'Tesla's representatives clash with local law enforcement agencies, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). After investigating the cause of the accident, it was determined that the handle of the accident car was deformed, so we conclude that there was someone in the driver's seat. '
'I also found that all the seat belts in the car after the collision were removed,' Moraby added. Tesla's autopilot feature only works when someone is sitting in the driver's seat and the seatbelt is fastened, so it's possible that the passenger hadn't enabled the autopilot feature if the seatbelt was off. There is.
However, according to a survey by the non-profit consumer organization Consumer Reports , when the driver's seat belt was fastened and a weight was attached to the steering wheel, the safety mechanism misidentified that 'the driver is holding the steering wheel' and autopilot. It is also known that the feature will continue to be enabled.
