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.
