According to reports, the owner claimed that the car was still accelerating after she stepped on the brakes. However, a representative of Tesla said that similar accidents in the past showed that the driver may have accidentally stepped on the accelerator instead of braking.
Tesla said in a statement: "We attach great importance to the safety of our customers, and we are also very happy to see that our customers are in a safe state. We will investigate the diagnostic records of vehicles in each accident, including drivers' claims that their cars accelerated' suddenly' and' unexpectedly'. However, in each survey, the vehicle's diagnostic records confirm that the vehicle is operating according to the design method. "
The statement also said: "Accidents involving' pedal misuse' occurred in all types of vehicles, not just Tesla. In this case, the driver will step on the accelerator by mistake. Tesla added two more sensors to the accelerator pedal, which can provide us with conclusive evidence when the pedal is stepped on.
