Tesla crash in China leaves two dead as safety concerns grow

Two people have been killed and several others injured after a Tesla lost control and subsequently crashed in China.

Reports suggest the crash was a result of a software failure. As a result, the EV maker has now confirmed it will launch its own investigation.

Video footage of the incident shows the vehicle speeding through China’s southern province of Guangdong. Moments later, it struck and killed both a motorcyclist and a high school girl.

The Model Y pulled out in front of a store before speeding down a road without braking for more than a kilometre and a half until it swerved and crashed.

Police are currently working to identify the truth behind this accident and Tesla says it will “actively provide any necessary assistance.”

“Police are currently seeking a third party appraisal agency to identify the truth behind this accident and we will actively provide any necessary assistance.”

China is the EV maker’s second-largest market, with the crash dominating news headlines around the country on Sunday.

Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, has previously touted the Autopilot’s function as being “probably better” than a human driver.
