Whether autonomous driving is a blessing or a curse for us, a tragedy involving Tesla employees has become the focus of discussion.
The employee reportedly suffered a fatal accident while suspected of using the FSD feature, and the investigation revealed that the employee was suspected of drunk driving at the time.
Musk clarified on social ** that the employee did not activate the FSD function at the time of the incident, in fact, the vehicle did not install FSD software, and if FSD was turned on, the accident may not have happened.
The wife of the deceased employee put forward a different account, she insisted that her husband did use Tesla's self-driving function, her husband drank and drove home after playing golf with friends, and despite drinking, she was also sober, and she mentioned that FSD Beta had adjusted her direction several times during driving, which immediately sparked widespread public doubts about the safety of Tesla's self-driving technology, if the wife's statement is true, The incident will be the first known fatal accident involving Tesla's FSD capabilities.
After an autopsy, it was found that the employee's blood alcohol concentration at the time of death exceeded three times the local legal limit, thus determining that drunk driving was the main cause of the accident.
In the end, the wife said that Musk had claimed that the car could be autonomous and outperformed human drivers, regardless of the level of alcohol he had, which led to a false sense of security.
