TX Tesla Robotaxi Test Kills Three in Wrong-way Head-on Crash

The symptoms suggest yet another driverless failure, given the classic 230 AM wrong-way Tesla crash at high speed.

Investigators say shortly before 2:30 a.m., a 2022 Tesla passenger car was traveling west in the eastbound lanes of the highway. The Tesla struck the passenger side of a 2010 Nissan Sentra.

The Nissan attempted to swerve out of the way of the Tesla, but the vehicle also veered left, leading to the crash.

Chloe Rios, 18, and Ja Michael Houston, 20, of Smithville were both in the Nissan at the time of the crash. They were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash.

The driver of the Tesla, 33-year-old Zaldivar Espinosa of Austin, was taken to the hospital where he later died.

Wanda Gertrudis Espinosa Zaldívar, the Austin owner, was obviously testing Robotaxi features that she had been promised of her car. Local news from Cuba says the family cannot afford to cremate her body, and are asking for public help instead of sending the Robotaxi failure bill to Elon Musk. It begs the question why and how they decided to buy a Tesla, ostensibly the lowest safety and highest expense vehicle in the world, and why they trusted driverless. This marks at least the fourth or fifth recent deadly crash bearing these same 230 AM Tesla software bug hallmarks.

Also note that the report states a Nissan tried to veer and avoid the wrong-way Tesla, yet the driverless software also veered the same direction to cause a crash.

GA Tesla Kills One in “Veered” Crash Into Tree

There sure seem to be a lot of Tesla suddenly veering off the road lately, crashing at high speed into a tree.

The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Specialist Unit responded to the scene just before 1 a.m. on May 11 near the intersection of Heardsville Road and Frix Road. Investigators say a 2022 Tesla Model 3, driven by Ashton Dickerson, failed to navigate a curve near 6564 Heardsville Road.

The vehicle left the roadway, struck a medium-sized tree, and eventually came to rest in a nearby cow pasture. Dickerson was pronounced dead at the scene.

Portugal Tesla Kills Four in “Veered” Crash Into Tree

Four young kids at the International College of Santiago in Tavira, Portugal were killed when their Tesla suddenly veered off the road into a tree and then flipped upside down into a river.

Notably, investigators say it was on a turn and yet there were no skid marks, as would be expected from normal braking. The car was in very shallow water but all the doors were still locked.

Tesla Cybertruck Crash Victim’s Father Says App Malfunctioned

According to this interview, when asked to describe his immediate reaction to learning of the Cybertruck crash, the victim’s father said he was confused due to Tesla app failure:

Usually I wake up at 4:30 and I go through the Tesla app to see if he’s heading home or at the gym. His car is at the gym, so I continue my workout and my daughter said, ‘What are you doing?’ I said, ‘I’m working out.’ She said, ‘You haven’t heard? Your son just got in an accident.’ ‘At the gym?’ ‘No he’s at the hospital.’

I just stopped everything and ran over there and was like, ‘What the hell’s going on? Was it his car? What’s going on?’ I realized the app actually malfunctioned. I found that out a couple days later when he started waking up.

His son was released from the hospital last week, after being placed in a coma due to smoke inhaled while trapped inside the Cybertruck for at least 10 minutes.
