Two men in passenger seats die after the accident in Tesla's “car and driver”

Two men were killed after Tesla's car crashed into a tree and caught fire in Texas, with police who believe no one was present at the driving seat at the time of the accident. The Tesla 2019 S model was traveling at high speed when it failed to make it back into a road bend. [...]

The Tesla 2019 S model was traveling at high speed when it failed to make it back into a road bend.

The victims, both in the 50s, were found in passenger seats.

Tesla did not immediately answer questions sent by the BBC for comment, Periscopi reports.

Evidence shows that “nobody was driving during the time of the accident,” said Mark Herman, who added that the case was still under investigation.

It's unclear if Tesla's autopilot piece was in use.

What Tesla calls Autopilot is actually a semi-autonom system that can guide the car to go under limited circumstances. A more sophisticated version, called <x0vet-to-retire version”, is expected to be launched this year.
