According to reports, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Monday that it has launched an investigation into a fatal collision involving a Tesla car. Earlier, a Tesla electric car crashed into a house in Texas, resulting in the death of a woman inside. The accident was captured by the front door camera and has attracted widespread attention. The Harris County Sheriff's Office stated in a statement that the driver told authorities he was using the autopilot system when the vehicle left the road and collided at high speed. In response, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on social media, "This makes absolutely no sense! FSD drives very slowly on residential streets, while this incident involved a high-speed collision!"
