Tesla claims driver ‘manually overrode self-driving’ in deadly Texas crash
特斯拉称得州致命车祸中驾驶员“手动覆盖了自动驾驶”
The Model 3 driver had the accelerator pressed ‘all the way to 100%,’ according to Tesla. 据特斯拉称，该 Model 3 驾驶员当时将油门踩到了“100%”。
Tesla is pushing back on claims that its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system caused a fatal Texas crash, where a speeding Model 3 barreled into a home, killing a 76-year-old woman inside. In a reply on X, Tesla AI head Ashok Elluswamy says the driver “manually overrode self-driving by pressing the accelerator all the way to 100%.” 特斯拉正在反驳有关其全自动驾驶（FSD）系统导致得州一起致命车祸的说法。在那起事故中，一辆超速行驶的 Model 3 冲进了一户民宅，导致屋内一名 76 岁的老妇人死亡。特斯拉人工智能主管 Ashok Elluswamy 在 X 上回应称，驾驶员“通过将油门踩到底（100%）手动覆盖了自动驾驶系统”。
The crash occurred in a residential neighborhood in Katy, Texas, last Friday, with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office telling ABC News that the Model 3 driver was using the vehicle “with an automated driving assistance system.” However, Elluswamy writes on X that the driver, who has been identified as Michael Butler, “reached a speed of 73 mph during the crash, and had the accelerator pressed even after the crash.” 这起车祸发生在上周五得州凯蒂市的一个居民区。哈里斯县警长办公室告诉美国广播公司（ABC News），该 Model 3 驾驶员当时正在使用车辆的“自动驾驶辅助系统”。然而，Elluswamy 在 X 上写道，已被确认为 Michael Butler 的驾驶员“在撞车时时速达到了 73 英里，并且在撞车后仍踩着油门”。
In January, Tesla discontinued its Autopilot driver-assist feature in favor of the subscription-based FSD. Tesla’s self-driving technology is currently under investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which is looking into whether the system properly alerts drivers when poor conditions prevent it from adequately scanning the roads. NHTSA has also opened an investigation into the Texas crash, according to The Washington Post. 今年 1 月，特斯拉停止了 Autopilot 驾驶辅助功能，转而推行基于订阅的 FSD。特斯拉的自动驾驶技术目前正受到美国国家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA）的调查，该机构正在审查当恶劣条件导致系统无法充分扫描道路时，系统是否能适当地提醒驾驶员。据《华盛顿邮报》报道，NHTSA 也已针对这起得州车祸展开调查。
Despite Tesla disbanding its public relations team years ago, Elluswamy expressed frustration with the media’s coverage of the crash and FSD, saying it plants “FUD [fear, uncertainty, and doubt] in the minds of the general public.” Tesla CEO Elon Musk similarly brushed off a link to the company’s self-driving tech, saying, “FSD drives slowly through neighborhood streets and this was a high speed crash!” 尽管特斯拉多年前就解散了公关团队，但 Elluswamy 对媒体关于此次车祸和 FSD 的报道表示不满，称其在公众心中植入了“FUD（恐惧、不确定和怀疑）”。特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克也以同样的方式撇清了与公司自动驾驶技术的联系，他表示：“FSD 在社区街道行驶时速度很慢，而这是一起高速撞车事故！”
