Black Day for Tesla ... 2 men killed in a Tesla car accident

20 Apr 2021

Physical evidence from the scene of the accident and interviews with witnesses

Physical evidence from the scene of the accident and interviews with witnesses led officials to "believe that no one was driving at the time of the accident."

The Texas authorities said that two men were killed after a Tesla car crashed on board last Saturday and caught fire, and it is noteworthy that neither of the two men was behind the wheel.

The vehicle "S 2019" (2019 S) was traveling at "high speed" when it was trying to overtake a bend, veered off the road and collided with a tree, and the accident occurred in a residential area of Woodlands, an area less than 50 kilometers north of Houston.

One of the men was - as the police said - in the front passenger seat, and the other in the back seat. According to the testimonies of the two men's wives, they were traveling in a Tesla car and said they wanted to go on a trip, and they were talking about the car's self-driving feature.

Shortly before the accident, Tesla CEO Elon Musk promoted a recent safety report from the company, writing on Twitter that "Tesla is developing the autonomous driving feature to reduce the chance of accidents by 10 times the current average."

Perfect car for you in Qatar

Buying a car in Qatar is probably the most demanding decision to make. Choosing the perfect car for you in Qatar, either new or used, is not as difficult as you might imagine, but it will take some time to make your selection. A wide variety of cars can be found in Qatar, from tiny hatchbacks to massive SUVs, from older models to newly released, top-of-the-line automobiles. Some individuals may prefer the illusion of safety that a slightly larger 4x4 provides, as well as the days of dune bashing and desert driving that such a car allows. Others prefer easy-to-navigate smaller cars. No matter your preference though, options are aplenty, and what’s more, petrol is cheap...
