Telsa Disputes Claims that Cars Accelerate on Their Own Causing Injuries
Recently, a California man, Brian Sparks, filed a petition with federal safety officials claiming that Tesla vehicles accelerate on their own, “without the driver touching the accelerator pedal.” As a result, many people have been injured.
According to The Los Angeles Times, “Sparks said Tesla owners have lodged 127 complaints with the government, covering 110 crashes and 52 injuries.” Many of these accidents have allegedly occurred when drivers were attempting to park. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration stated that they will look into the petition before deciding whether to open a formal investigation.
