Living 4 Local. National Transportation Safety Board announced the findings in an investigative report update released Thursday on the April 17 crash on a residential road in Spring, Texas.
Although first responders found one man in the back seat and the other in the front passenger seat, the NTSB said both the driver and a passenger were in the front seats with belts buckled at the time of the crash.
The agency said the car was traveling up to 67 mph in the five seconds leading up to the crash, and the driver was accelerating. The NTSB said it is still looking into Autopilot, whether the men could have had trouble getting out of the car, driver toxicology tests and other items. The agency will make those determinations in a final report.
The car traveled about feet before leaving the road on a curve, going over a curb, hitting a drainage culvert, a raised manhole and a tree. The crash occurred around p. Both the year-old owner and the year-old passenger were killed. In a preliminary report from May, the NTSB said it tested a different Tesla vehicle on the same road, and the Autopilot driver-assist system could not be fully used.
Investigators could not get the system's automated steering system to work, but were able to use Traffic Aware Cruise Control. Autopilot needs both the cruise control and the automatic steering to function.
