"Something terrifying happened, without warning, the vehicle attempted to drive straight off an overpass. Her attorney, Bob Hilliard, said Amour tried to take control, but crashed into the barrier and was seriously injured (mostly her shoulder, neck, and back)."
"Tesla vehicle crashes are widely popular to report by mainstream media outlets because of the sensationalism of the event. Oftentimes, these outlets will include Tesla in the headline, especially because it will pique the interest of the masses, as most who read the story are waiting to see the claim that Autopilot or Full Self-Driving was the culprit of the accident."
"Tesla has access to the logs of every vehicle in its fleet, which will show the various metrics, like whether either FSD or Autopilot was active, if the accelerator was pressed, the speed, and other important factors."
A Cybertruck crash into an overpass barrier in August 2025 resulted in a $1 million negligence lawsuit against Tesla. The driver claimed the vehicle attempted to drive off the overpass without warning. Tesla CEO Elon Musk responded by citing vehicle logs showing the driver disengaged Autopilot four seconds before the collision. Tesla regularly uses driver logs containing metrics like system status, accelerator input, and speed to establish responsibility in accident cases. Media outlets frequently report Tesla crashes with sensationalized headlines, often attributing incidents to Autopilot or Full Self-Driving systems.
