The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has given its verdict on a high-profile fatal crash involving a Tesla Model S that made national headlines in April 2021. But the publication of the NTSB report has now ruled that out. And the mystery of the empty driver’s seat was addressed, too. The incident is also one of many fatal Tesla crashes being investigated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which will review the NTSB findings. The NHTSA’s role is to set vehicle safety standards, while the NTSB generally makes safety recommendations.
