Tesla Autopilot Crashes Kill Grandmother

A 76-year-old grandmother was killed in Katy, Texas, when a Tesla operating in self-driving mode veered off the road and slammed into her home while she stood in the front room.

In a separate incident in Connecticut, a driver crashed into a swimming pool while trying to park.

The Texas driver told authorities the vehicle was on autopilot, and an investigation is ongoing.

The crashes have reignited concerns about the safety of Tesla's automated driving systems.
