Tesla Driver in Fatal Texas Crash Pressed Accelerator to the Floor, NTSB Finds

The National Transportation Safety Board found that a Tesla driver who blamed a fatal Texas crash on Autopilot had in fact pressed the accelerator to 100 percent and overrode the driver-assistance system. The finding cuts against claims that the automation was at fault and lands amid growing scrutiny of how self-driving features are marketed and used. It underscores the difficulty regulators face in assigning responsibility as partially automated vehicles proliferate.
