Washington, Apr 20 (UNI) Tesla CEO Elon Musk says his company’s autopilot driving systems were not involved in the fatal car crash in Spring, Texas that killed two men inside the vehicle.
"Data logs recovered so far show Autopilot was not enabled & this car did not purchase FSD [Full Self-Driving]. Moreover, standard Autopilot would require lane lines to turn on, which this street did not have," Musk said in a Twitter comment on the recent Wall Street Journal report on the crash.
The Wall Street Journal said on Sunday citing authorities that the Tesla Model S sedan that veered off the road, crashed into a tree and burst into flames on Saturday night north of Houston was operating without anyone in the driver’s seat.
