21 May 2018

The company pursue bad luck?

Less than a week after crash Tesla Model S fire truck, as the same electric car was in another traffic accident with fatal outcome. The incident occurred in California. On Sunday evening the electric car left the road and fell into the pond. The driver died on the spot.

Mangled car managed to pick up only on Monday. According to rescuers, carrying out operations were hampered by dense underwater thickets. In the car there was only the driver, an adult male. His identity is not disclosed.

The circumstances of the tragedy is shrouded in mystery. According to local police, the owner of one of the parcels bordering the pond, I heard a roar characteristic of a car accident, and immediately called the emergency services. After that he found that his fence someone blew, and the tire tracks go into the pond.

The reporter of television station KTVU Lay Martinez (Martinez Leigh) said that the Tesla Model S is not encountered with other vehicles. The rest of the data about fatal accidents are yet to uncover.

Since the information about the accident is extremely scarce, to build any assumptions too early. Do not have any information about the state of the driver before the accident, nor about the Tesla Model S. the Public is primarily interested in whether the Autopilot system is activated at the time of the accident. Lately, there have been several notorious incidents involving the "autopilot" of Tesla: two accidents in which Model S crashed into fire trucks (the accident occurred like a blueprint), a deadly collision with a road divider and crash with the wall, which at the beginning of of the batteries, the fire killed two teenagers.

It all looks like doom. But let's not forget that the number of "Tesla" on U.S. roads is increasing every day, and they can also get into an accident: there is no difference from regular cars is not. However, every fatal accident involving a Tesla is still widely covered in the media and attracts much attention.
