The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating after a Tesla plowed into a home in Katy an killed an elderly woman.
Martha Avila was in the front room of the house on Blooming Park Lane when the car hit it on Friday night. She died at a local hospital. The driver told deputies the Tesla was in an automated driving mode when it crashed.
Tesla founder Elon Musk says that “makes no sense,” since Full Self-Driving operates the car at low speeds, and it was a high-speed crash. The driver isn’t facing charges so far.
