More like individual consumer claims that his Tesla 'magically' accelerated during his wife's first drive of the vehicle.
Despite the car's logs showing clearly that the pedal was depressed at the time of the 'accident', individual consumer claims that his wife didn't depress the pedal.
Investigation underway to determine whether or not individual consumer's insurance will cover the 'accident'.
- qq66 13y agoThe car's logs don't necessarily tell the whole story. A failure upstream of the logging system (cruise control system depresses pedal, pedal catches on carpet) would be unintended but logged, as well as a software failure that misread the pedal as depressed (accelerating the car and writing the erroneous value to log).
- cube13 13y agoMy 2009 Civic doesn't move the pedal when I turn cruise control on. That's entirely controlled by the car's computer. I would imagine that the Tesla does handles it in exactly the same way.
