Tesla driver charged with manslaughter in Katy crash was Googling ‘FSD too timid’

A Tesla driver in Katy, Texas, faces manslaughter charges after a fatal crash that killed a 76-year-old woman. Prosecutors allege he deliberately accelerated to 73 mph in a residential area while using the car's Full Self-Driving mode, which reportedly was set to a less aggressive mode than he preferred. The incident has raised serious questions about the safety and reliability of autonomous driving features, particularly after it emerged that the driver had been researching complaints about the system’s timidity in the weeks leading up to the crash. This case underscores the ongoing debate about the readiness and oversight of autonomous vehicle technologies.
