A security-camera video of the Tesla Model 3 crash in Moscow on August 10.



According to the Tesla driver:
  • The autopilot was on;
  • The speed was 100 km/h (62 mph);
  • The driver was distracted for a moment before the crash;
  • He didn't notice the obstacle before the car hit it;
  • He didn't press the brakes;
  • The driver broke his leg in the crash;
  • The driver and his children managed to get out of the car safely;
  • The Tesla caught on fire after they got out;
  • The last update of the Model 3's software was in April;
  • The driver is not blaming Tesla for the accident.
As you can see:
  • The braking signals on the Tesla were on for 22 frames before the crash (approx. 3\4 of a second). So the Tesla collision avoidance kicked in;
  • The flatbed truck hit by Tesla on the left shoulder was obstructed by another car with hazard warning signals off.
