Tesla Model 3 on Autopilot in Horror Car Crash in Paris
PARIS, FRANCE — A major French taxi company suspended its fleet of Tesla Model 3 cars after one of these mysteriously accelerated and hit multiple pedestrians in Paris, killing one. Here are the details:
Reuters reports that Paris’ biggest taxi company, called G7, has suspended its fleet of 37 Tesla Model 3 cars after a fatal accident that the driver blamed on the car malfunctioning.
The accident happened when an off-duty taxi driver took his family to a restaurant on the evening of Saturday, December 11.
According to initial reports, the car started accelerating when the driver tried to brake by pressing his foot on the brake pedal.
The car then careened down the road, hitting multiple pedestrians, some pavement fittings and a traffic light, before crashing into a van.
One person was killed and 20 people were injured, some seriously. In the U.S., there have been reports of more than 200 incidents involving Teslas unexpectedly accelerating and crashing.
The federal car safety agency concluded in January that the incidents were the fault of drivers confusing their brake and accelerator pedals, and were not due to vehicle defects.
G7 said in a statement that it suspended the Model 3 cars as a precaution while the French police investigation is being conducted.
Tesla collects detailed data from the sensors and cameras on its vehicles and has used such data in the past to challenge claims that accidents were caused by malfunctioning technology.
The car maker said it remotely accessed this data on the accident car and found no problem with the car.
