Elon Musk claims Autopilot was NOT to blame for a second Tesla crash
Tesla's controversial Autopilot feature was not to blame for a crash at a turnpike in Pennsylvania earlier this month, Elon Musk has claimed. Logs released by the electric car manufacturer show that the feature was not turned on at the time of the crash, despite reports that it may have played a role. The accident came weeks after a Tesla Model S collided with a tractor-trailer on a freeway in Williston, Florida, after it failed to detect the white trailer against the sky. Tesla's auto-pilot system did not cause a crash that'destroyed' a Model X car (pictured) after it suddenly swerved off a road at 60mph and hit some wooden guard rail posts. The 40-year-old driver Joshua Brown died in the accident.
