BusinessThe TelegraphTwo die after Tesla crashes with 'no one driving'
A Tesla electric car that “no one” appeared to be driving crashed late Saturday in Texas, erupting into flames and killing the two passengers, according to local authorities. One victim was found in the front passenger seat of a 2019 Model S and the other was in the back, Harris County Precinct 4 constable Mark Herman said. The car ran into a tree in the Carlton Woods subdivision near The Woodlands after travelling at high speed and failing to navigate a turn. The position of the victims, statements and other physical evidence suggest that “no one was driving the vehicle at the time of impact,” Mr Herman said, adding that it is "still under investigation". Mr Herman said his office is coordinating with federal authorities, without specifying which ones, and didn’t know whether the Autopilot feature was engaged. It took more than 30,000 gallons of water to extinguish the fire, which burned for four hours, he added.
