Tesla Denies FSD Role in Fatal 2022 Crash

Elon Musk and Tesla executives dispute claims that Full Self-Driving technology was engaged during the accident that killed a Tesla employee.

Elon Musk and Tesla executives claim the 2022 crash involving a Tesla employee was not due to the Full Self-Driving (FSD) feature, as the software had not been downloaded.
The crash, which resulted in the death of Tesla recruiter Hans von Ohain, has sparked controversy over the role of Tesla's FSD technology.
Tesla has faced criticism for its lack of clarity regarding the crash details and for not providing data to confirm whether FSD was engaged.
The incident has raised questions about the reliability of Tesla's driver-assistance technology and its potential safety implications.
Authorities and Tesla have provided conflicting accounts, with Musk asserting that FSD could have prevented the crash, despite evidence suggesting von Ohain was using the feature.
