NTSB opens investigation into fatal Tesla crash in Katy, Texas
The National Transportation Safety Board has opened a formal investigation into a fatal Tesla crash in Katy, Texas, that killed a 76-year-old resident. The victim’s family has sued the driver and Tesla, alleging negligence. Tesla said onboard data show the accelerator was pressed to the floor before the impact, overriding what it said was likely the car’s Full SelfDriving software, though it has not provided additional proof. The NTSB and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are expected to obtain the vehicle’s computer logs to determine what happened.
