The driver of a Tesla Model 3 that crashed into a Texas home and killed an elderly woman has been charged with manslaughter, according to a criminal complaint filed by the Harris County Sheriff’s Office. The incident happened last month when Michael Butler, who was driving a Tesla Model 3 using its Full Self-Driving mode, was involved in a high-speed collision in Katy, Texas that ended with the death of Martha Avila, according to the complaint. officials on the case got written consent from the the driver to search and seize the involved Tesla and his cellphone. The complaint said that there were multiple Google searches about Full Self-Driving found on Butler’s phone, including “tesla fsd not aggressive enough 2026 model,” “FSD is not aggressive enough for city driving” and “tesla fsd too timid.” Do you think that self-driving is a disaster in the making ?
