Two men were killed in a car crash in Texas while riding in a @Tesla car. The police said that no one was behind the wheel during the crash. The vehicle was driving at a high speed late on April 17 in the north of Houston when it slammed into a tree and burst into flames. 
@Tesla “Our preliminary investigation is determining -- but it's not complete yet -- that there was no one at the wheel of that vehicle,” said Harris County Constable Mark Herman, adding that they were almost 99.9 per cent sure.
@Tesla When police arrived, one of the two victims was sitting in the front passenger seat and the other in the rear seat.
@Tesla Herman said that police had not yet determined whether the driver-side airbag had deployed and whether the car's driver assistance system was engaged at the time of the crash.

@Tesla However, on its website, Tesla warns that the driver assistance systems it offers do not make their vehicles fully autonomous and that active driver supervision is still necessary.
