A Tesla Model 3 crashed into a home in Katy, Texas, killing a 76-year-old woman. The driver claimed Autopilot was active, but Tesla's Autopilot director stated the driver had overridden the system by pressing the accelerator fully, reaching 73 mph at impact. Tesla CEO Elon Musk echoed this, saying the crash speed contradicts Autopilot's slow neighborhood driving. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation, and local authorities will decide on potential criminal charges. The cause will be clarified after reviewing the vehicle's data logs.
