A Texas man was charged with manslaughter on July 1 after he crashed into a home, killing 76-year-old Marhta Ávila.
The crash occurred on June 16 around 8 p.m. in Harris County, about a 30-minute drive from Houston, while Michael Butler was completing a food delivery for DoorDash as one of its “dashers,” according to the Harris County District Clerk’s office.
The office said Butler claimed that his Tesla’s full self-driving (FSD) mode was on when he crashed the car into Ávila’s home.
Butler told paramedics at the scene he remembered changing the music before he “looked at the navigation screen and the next thing he remembers … was after he crashed.” He later told hospital personnel that he “remembers putting the car in self-driving mode” before he “passed out,” according to the authorities….
