底特律(AP) - 当一个特斯拉电动车坠毁和烧毁休斯顿的特斯拉电动车时,驾驶员在车轮后面,杀死了两名男子,昨天没有在驾驶员座位上发现。

The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board announced the findings in an investigative report update released Thursday on the April 17 crash on a residential road in Spring, Texas.

bac虽然应急人员发现一个人k seat and the other in the front passenger seat, the NTSB said both the driver and a passenger were in the front seats with belts buckled at the time of the crash.

The agency said the car was traveling up to 67 mph in the five seconds leading up to the crash, and the driver was accelerating. Data from the car’s fire-damaged event data recorder revealed that at times, the accelerator pedal was pressed as high as 98.8%, the NTSB report said.

调查继续,该机构对Tesla的自动驾驶仪是否部分自动化的驾驶员辅助系统在崩溃时运行不确定。NTSB表示还在调查自动驾驶仪,无论男人都能摆脱汽车,司机毒理学测试等物品。该机构将在最终报告中进行这些决定。

The update report left unclear how or why the driver unbuckled the seat belt and changed seating positions, although it said the crash damaged the Tesla Model S’s high-voltage lithium-ion battery case, where the fire started.

该报告说,致命的旅行靠近CUL-DE-SAC的结尾附近,附近的家庭安全视频显示所有者进入驾驶员座位和进入前乘客座位的乘客。这辆车在弯道的路上左右走了大约550英尺,越过遏制,击中排水罩,凸起的人孔和一棵树。

The crash occurred around 9:07 p.m. on Hammock Dunes Place, a two-lane residential road. Both the 59-year-old owner and the 69-year-old passenger were killed.

在5月份的初步报告中,NTSB表示它在同一条路上测试了不同的特斯拉车辆,并且无法充分使用自动驾驶仪驾驶员辅助系统。调查人员无法让系统的自动转向系统工作,但能够使用交通意识巡航控制。

AutoPilot需要巡航控制和自动转向功能。交通意识巡航控制可以让汽车从中前方的车辆保持安全距离,而自动化者将其保持在自己的车道中。报告称,这条路也没有车道线。这可能是自动转向的原因不起作用。

该机构表示,它打算发出安全建议,以防止类似的崩溃。

Local authorities said one man was found in the front passenger seat, while another was in the back.

Harris County Precinct Four Constable Mark Herman said at the time the car was traveling at a high speed. He would not say if there was evidence anyone tampered with Tesla’s system to monitor the driver, which detects force from hands on the steering wheel. The system will issue warnings and eventually shut the car down if it doesn’t detect hands. But critics say Tesla’s system is easy to fool and can take as long as a minute to shut down.

消费者报告于4月份表示,它能够轻松地将TeSLA诱使在自动驾驶模式中驾驶,在车轮上没有人。

NTSB没有监管机构,只能提出建议,表示它正在与探针国家公路交通安全管理局合作。NHTSA有能力进行车辆安全法规。NTSB表示,联邦探针与地方当局的平行调查同时运行。

The Texas crash raised questions of whether Autopilot was working at the time, and whether Tesla does enough to make sure drivers are engaged. The company says in owner’s manuals and on its website that Autopilot is a driver-assist system and drivers must be ready to take action at any time.

Lars Moravy, Tesla’s vice president of vehicle engineering, said on the company’s April 26 earnings conference call that an inspection of the badly burned car found that the steering wheel was deformed, “so it was leading to a likelihood that someone was in the driver’s seat at the time of the crash.” He said all seat belts were found unbuckled.

On Twitter in April, Tesla CEO Elon Musk wrote that data logs “recovered so far” in the crashed show Autopilot wasn’t turned on, and “Full Self-Driving” was not purchased for the vehicle in the Texas crash. He didn’t answer reporters’ questions posed on Twitter.

NHTSA has stepped up its investigations into Tesla Autopilot. In August, it opened a formal investigation into the system after a series of collisions with parked emergency vehicles.

调查占地765,000辆,几乎所有Tesla在美国销售的一切。自2014年模型年初以来。作为探针的一部分确定的崩溃,17人受伤,一个人被杀。

NHTSA表示,它自2018年以来已确定了12次崩溃,其中特斯拉斯自动驾驶仪或交通意识巡航控制在场景中击中了车辆的车辆,其中首先响应者使用闪烁的灯光,耀斑,照明箭头板或锥体危害警告。
