The last line of this “veered” crash report is the most interesting part.
A man died after a crash Friday involving four other vehicles on Interstate 75 in Pasco County.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, at 3:15 p.m., a 69-year-old Longboat Key man was driving his Tesla Model S south on the interstate. Near milepost 277, the Tesla driver veered out of his lane and collided [with a Ford truck, a Toyota car, a Peterbilt truck, and then a Volvo truck].

FHP reported that the Tesla driver was taken to a nearby hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
All other drivers were uninjured.
The only injuries in a five vehicle crash were to the Tesla owner, who died.
I think I get your point. Why didn’t the Tesla immediately halt on first impact? If medical emergency, why not halt even before first impact? Cameras inside and outside, yet two huge trucks were crashed into? Software that allows or even caused the four crashes makes survival nearly impossible. I’m thinking complex Mars voyage. This pinball incident just provides more evidence there’s nothing behind the Musk curtain.
@Anon I hadn’t gone quite that far into disabled driver questions, as the report specifies the Tesla driver died from crash injuries. You make a fair point, if it was a driver emergency should the car have halted by default? I wondered more whether the victim experienced Tesla sudden unintended acceleration coupled with a “veered” steering loss. That’s the deadly cocktail of Tesla flaws we keep hearing symptoms of, warranting far more scrutiny.
