It is the driver's fault that the fatal accident took place. But in this drama, Tesla is not snow white either. This is, in essence, what concludes a new report from the land transport accident investigation office (BEA-TT) which was posted online this Thursday, November 21, approximately three years after the terrible road accident. in Paris (13th century). A tragedy during which a cyclist was fatally mowed down and 21 other people injured on Avenue d'Ivry. The 61-year-old taxi driver, who drove the American car, remains indicted under judicial supervision.
As we revealed in May, the technical report established by the Criminal Research Institute of the National Gendarmerie (IRCGN), seized by a magistrate, had not revealed any technical failure on the Tesla Model 3. The experts had instead noted a “discrepancy” in the driver’s hearing. The latter maintained that his electric car had started to accelerate on its own and that the brake pedal no longer responded. Problem for him: the gendarmes had found nothing that could support this version.
