Investigations are continuing into a fatal crash involving a Tesla in Texas.

Two people were killed then the car smashed into a tree, but now investigators say no one was actually driving the car when the crash occurred.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the NTSB are both investigating the crash.

The NHTSA said it “has immediately launched a Special Crash Investigation team to investigate the crash. We are actively engaged with local law enforcement and Tesla to learn more about the details of the crash and will take appropriate steps when we have more information.”

Just hours before the crash, Tesla Inc Chief Executive Elon Musk tweeted to his more than 50 million followers, “Tesla with Autopilot engaged now approaching 10 times lower chance of accident than average vehicle.”
