A driver who was using Tesla’s Autopilot when he crashed through a home and killed a grandmother has been arrested after the electric car maker said their data shows he floored the gas pedal himself and “manually overrode” the self-driving feature. Michael Butler, 44, was charged with manslaughter after he plowed his Tesla into a Katy, Texas, home at more than 70 miles per hour last month, killing Martha Ávila, 76, as she was putting away groceries, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office announced Wednesday. Butler, who is also being sued by Ávila’s family for the incident, allegedly drove the Tesla Model 3 off the road, over a lawn and through the front of Ávila’s brick home on June 19, leaving a gaping hole, dramatic footage shows.
