Tesla vehicles cause trouble
Four people are killed in France in a crash involving a Tesla electric car. The prosecutor's office said the vehicle caught fire for unknown reasons on Sunday.
According to police, the accident occurred on Saturday evening outside Noir in western France. Initial reports indicate that the car crashed quickly into several road signs.
When rescue workers arrived at the scene, the four occupants of the car were already dead. As part of the investigation, an expert examination of the vehicle will be requested, the judge told AFP.
Tesla is often criticized for safety problems
In April, tech billionaire Elon Musk's company reached an out-of-court settlement with the family of an engineer who died in a 2018 Tesla Model X crash in Silicon Valley.
Walter Huang, a former Apple engineer, was driving his Tesla X with autopilot on a highway near Mountain View in California in March 2018 when it crashed into a concrete barrier. The man died from his injuries.
In December, Tesla recalled 2 million cars in the United States to update the related software due to potential risks associated with the autopilot feature.
