NTSB Feb 2020 report of the fatal Mar’18 Tesla accident
NTSB has just released a new report on the March 23, 2018 Tesla accident in Mountain View, CA. The 2017 Tesla Model X P100D electric-powered passenger car operated with advanced driver assistance (ADAS) features – a feature Tesla calls “autopilot” – departed the southbound travel lanes of Highway 101 and struck a previously damaged crash attenuator. The driver, the sole occupant of the car, was fatally injured in the crash.
