"No one was driving the car": 2 men killed when driverless Tesla crashs & bu

McGruber writes: Two men were killed when a driver-less Tesla crashed into a tree and burned. Harris County, Texas Constable Mark Herman said that the investigation showed “no one was driving” the 2019 Tesla when the crash occurred. There was a person in the passenger seat of the front of the car and a person in the rear passenger seat of the car.

KPRC 2 reporter Deven Clarke spoke to one victim's brother-in-law who said the victim was taking the car out for a spin with his best friend, so there were just two in the vehicle. The owner backed out of the driveway and then may have hopped in the back seat only to crash a few hundred yards down the road. He said the owner was found in the back seat upright.

Authorities said they used 32,000 gallons of water to extinguish the flames because the vehicle’s batteries kept reigniting. At one point, Herman said, deputies had to call Tesla to ask them how to put out the fire in the battery.
