Tesla Car Accident Killed Two People Last Saturday. There Was No One at the Wheel of the Electric Vehicle

The electric car is already a reality. Today, the company that leads all the rankings and is the driving force behind this market is Tesla, a company founded by Elon Musk. However, with these cars, new dangers also emerge. For example, a major accident in Texas, in the United States, killed two people.

In Texas, authorities reported that the Tesla electric car failed to make a turn, crashing into a tree and catching fire. However, one fact that drew attention is that there was no one at the wheel, meaning the electric car was driving itself.

The Tesla Model S quickly caught fire, killing the two men who were in the electric vehicle. One notable fact is that firefighters took about 4 hours to extinguish the fire from the battery of the Tesla Model S. A police officer who responded to the incident stated that, generally, they put out the fire in a matter of minutes in a conventional vehicle.
