Why do people still try to lie and say the car did it? They don’t know that literally everything the car does is recorded?

Tesla Vice President of Autopilot Ashok Elluswamy also chimed in on the incident with a response to Musk on X.

“In this case, the driver manually overrode self-driving by pressing the accelerator all the way to 100% of the accel pedal in this residential area,” he wrote. “They reached a speed of 73 mph during the crash, and had the accelerator pressed even after the crash.”
