Tragic fatal crash in Tesla Model S goes national because – Tesla

Based on annual statistics, about 500 gas-powered cars caught on fire
yesterday and ~100 people died on US roads, but only one car crash is making
the national news today: a tragic fatal accident in a Tesla Model S.

根據年度統計數據，昨天大概有500輛燃油車起火，約100人在美國道路上死亡，但今
天只有一起車禍造成全國新聞：Tesla Model S 的一起悲劇致命事故。

Local media in Florida reported today that two Fort Lauderdale teens were
killed and a third was injured after the Tesla Model S that they were driving
crashed and caught fire yesterday evening.

佛羅里達當地媒體今天報導，兩位 Fort Lauderdale 青少年在 Tesla Model S 車禍中
死亡，一位受傷，他們駕駛的車輛在昨天晚上撞毀並起火。

The circumstances of the crash are under investigation, but the Police said
speed may have been a factor in the accident.

車禍事件正在調查中，但警方表示超速可能是車禍的一個原因。

They were driving in a residential area when they apparently lost control of
the vehicle – veered off road and hit a concrete wall.

他們在住宅區行駛時，很顯然的失控了 - 然後離開路面撞上了混凝土牆。

Media outlets quickly linked the accident to the recent stories of Tesla
crashes while the vehicles were on Autopilot.

媒體迅速將這起事故與最近發生的正在用 Auotpilot 的 Tesla 車禍事故聯繫起來。

A Tesla representative commented in a statement:

Tesla 發言人在一份聲明中說：

“We have not yet been able to learn the vehicle identification number, which
has prevented us from determining whether there is any log data. However, had
Autopilot been engaged it would have limited the vehicle’s speed to 35 mph
or less on this street, which is inconsistent with eyewitness statements and
the damage to the vehicle.”

我們還不知道車輛的 VIN 號碼，這使我們無法確定是否有任何 log 數據。
但是，如果 Autopilot 已經啟用，它會將車輛速度限制在這條街上的35 mph 或更少，
這與目擊者說法和車輛損壞狀況不一致。

The story was quickly picked up by national media outlets, like Reuters.

像路透社這樣的國際媒體迅速報導了這個故事。

心得/說明：

沒記錯的話，全球近年來 Tesla 的車禍總共造成5死，加上這起車禍一共有7人死亡

每次都是大新聞

這次三人都是即將高中畢業，才18歲

就新聞轉述目擊者的說法是在住宅區開的非常的快然後直接撞牆

燒成這樣大概裡面的 log 也沒辦法讀了

但 Tesla 那邊可能會有部分的即時備份
