Tesla Driver Floored Accelerator To 100%, Killing Grandmother In Her Home

NTSB found Tesla's FSD Supervised feature was active when he pushed the car past 70 mph in a 30 mph zone.

  • 8:03 p.m. CDT, June 19: the car struck the house on Rose Hollow Lane.
  • The 2025 Model 3 was required to turn right onto Blooming Park Lane instead.
  • The 44-year-old male driver, the car's sole occupant, suffered only minor injuries.

Why it matters: Every safety system still answers to whoever holds the pedal; here a man chose to override it.
