And several other cases over the years, the Chinese case I linked above being one of the more recent ones I remember personally.
This report changes everything. All of these events were dismissed by Tesla engineers recovering the black box and saying that the pedal was pushed the whole time.
Alas, we now know that when the ADC miscalibrates, the Tesla computer thinks (for a few minutes) that the computer thinks the accelerator is pressed even when it isn’t pressed in reality. This complaint is very enlightening, we cannot trust the Tesla telematics / logs. The computer is wrong at the fundamental analog level before the data even leaves the ADC.
As I said in my post, one community I follow (RealTesla) keeps track of this. Years ago there was this French case: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-12-16/why-the-ev-world-should-worry-about-unintended-acceleration
