South Korean police are examining a Tesla Model X self-driving car after the car crashed into a wall killing a passenger. South Korea’s forensic agency will investigate the car to identify the cause of the accident, police said.
The vehicle smashed into the wall and caught fire in the parking lot of a Seoul apartment building. It took about an hour to put out the fire.
In January, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said it will review a petition asking the agency to formally investigate and recall 500,000 Tesla vehicles over sudden unintended acceleration reports.
The petition covers 2012 through 2019 model year Tesla Model S cars, 2016 through 2019 Tesla Model X SUVs, and 2018 through 2019 Tesla Model 3 vehicles.
