Tesla Motors Inc. says the onboard vehicle log for a Model X electric crossover that crashed in Pennsylvania two week ago shows the car’s Autopilot driver-assist feature was turned off at the time of the rollover.
The driver of the vehicle reportedly told police the car was in Autopilot mode, which enables the vehicle to steer itself, and suddenly veered out of its lane.
But Tesla CEO Elon Musk says the car’s data recorder indicates otherwise. He adds in a tweet on Friday that the “crash would not have occurred if [Autopilot] was on.”
