The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said Wednesday that it would send a team to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to investigate a fatal car accident involving the 2014 Grey Tesla Model S, which would be the fourth time a federal agency has been involved in a Tesla vehicle accident. Investigation.
NTSB said that the focus of the investigation on the Model S accident is the lithium battery of vehicles. The possibility of accidents caused by Tesla's AutoPilot system has been ruled out and will not be part of the investigation.
Witnesses: the fire did not appear to be caused by gasoline because there was no smoke.
"We are confirming the truth of the accident and providing full cooperation to the local authorities," Tesla said in a statement. "We have not yet been able to retrieve the traffic log from the accident vehicles, but from what we know now, the vehicles were not in a high-speed state at the time of the accident and were driving. The assistant system has not been opened yet. Tesla also said that "any type of car" in high-speed driving conditions, once the collision, may lead to fire.
All three passengers on Model S were 18-year-old men in Tuesday night's Fort Lauderdale accident, NBC reported. According to NBC, the police said Barrett, the driver of the accident car? Riley (Barrett Riley) and assistant driver passenger Edgar? Monet? Edgar Monserratt Martinez died in the accident. Another passenger, Alexander? Berry (Alexander Berry) was thrown out of the car and injured in the accident and was taken to a local hospital. The second car their friends took was right behind their car and witnessed the whole accident.
The real cause of the accident is unclear, but a statement issued Wednesday afternoon by the Fort Lauderdale Police Department said the speed of the Model S was considered one of the factors contributing to the accident.
Who lives at the scene opposite Larry? Larry Groshart told the Wall Street Journal that he had witnessed the accident in his driveway. He also said that the highway in the accident area was known as the "death bend" in the local area, and there were frequent accidents. Grossat also said that the Model S appeared to have been much faster than 25 miles per hour (about 40 kilometers per hour) before the accident. He heard a screech of tires, then the car scraped past a concrete wall, and finally caught fire after hitting another one, leaving a very conspicuous crack in the wall.
Grossat also said that he did not realize that the accident vehicle was a Tesla. He said that the fire did not seem to be caused by gasoline because there was no smoke when it started.
NTSB launched fourth Tesla vehicle accident investigation
The Daily Economic News reporter noted that several fatal accidents involving Tesla vehicles were caused when the driver turned on Tesla's AutoPilot system. For example, in March this year, a driver of Model X crashed on a freeway in the San Francisco Bay Area, causing autoPilot accidents. The system is in an open state.
Although NTSB has no jurisdiction over the accident, it has a wide impact on transport safety. NTSB is currently investigating four traffic accidents involving Tesla vehicles, including the accident. Tesla said at the time that the Model X SUV was on the driver's assistant system before the accident and that no driver's hand was detected on the steering wheel six seconds before the collision.
In addition, NTSB is investigating a Tesla Model X battery fire and a Model S rear-end fire engine accident in Culver, California, in January. In the January accident, the driver said that the AutoPilot system of the vehicle was on at the time of the accident.
In fact, Tesla has been actively developing the driver assistance system, saying that the system can improve safety driving, but also warned that the company will not turn Tesla's car into an autopilot, and drivers must remain vigilant while driving. However, experts say that with the improvement of automotive automation, it is difficult for drivers to maintain artificial driving state when the driver's assistant system is turned on.
The Daily Economic News reporter noted that Tesla's so-called AutoPilot system is not completely automatic. The system only handles part of the drive function, and when the system is enabled, the driver should also maintain the normal driving state.
Previously, many media articles said that "this (Tesla accident) will make people believe that automatic driving is actually less safe". A few days ago, Tesla CEO musk also wrote these articles on the earnings call conference of the company in the first quarter.
