🌍✨ Tesla Autopilot was on in I-35 crash that killed its driver

Why we’re watching: A 2024 Tesla Model Y ran off Interstate 35 in rural Missouri, struck a guardrail, and killed its driver, a 64-year-old woman from Raymore.

Troopers reported a single-vehicle wreck and said the car “went off the road.” What they didn’t say, and likely didn’t know, is that Tesla’s own report to federal regulators says the car’s driver-assist system was engaged. 💚

This is part of an ongoing Electrek investigation matching reported crashes to Tesla’s redacted NHTSA data.
