## Resource

A Tesla Model Three slammed into a house in June 2026, killing a 76-year-old woman — the driver, a 44-year-old man, initially claimed autopilot was at fault. But NTSB findings reveal he manually overrode the Full Self-Driving system and floored the accelerator, hitting 70+ mph — contradicting the “hands-off” narrative. He’s now charged with manslaughter. Elon Musk and Tesla’s AI VP both emphasized the system’s design limits and the driver’s active role. The NTSB is still investigating and will issue safety recommendations to prevent future tragedies — a sobering look at the real risks of advanced driver assistance systems.
