  Oh, the article is plenty clear. >Did the driver have their foot hard down on the brake pedal? Yes, this is how you get the skid marks 50 ft long. You can also hear it in the video. >Were they using both feet and applying brake and accelerator at the same time? No. The vehicle accelerated on its own, and wasn't responding to the steering controls as well while the unintended acceleration. Tesla's response was that "due to the terrain the accelerator may or may not disengage when the brake is depressed". >These seem like obvious basic questions that this motoring journalist has failed to ask. Because they have very obvious basic answers unless one is hell-bent on blaming the victim (who, by the way, has a driver license). >We will have to wait for keen YouTubers to answer these questions for us I guess LOL Indeed. Because Tesla has dissolved its PR department years ago, and won't answer to inquiries from the press. I'll wait for NHTSA to answer these questions, but you do you.
