Walter Huang was killed when his Model X slammed into a safety barrier.
In its initial investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board found that a video game — “a world-building strategy game with multiplayer capability” — was the frontmost app on Huang’s phone at the time of the crash. But investigators could not determine whether he was actively playing it when his Model X slammed into the concrete divider.
However, historical cellphone logs from Huang’s phone found “a pattern of active game play” during morning commute hours in the days leading up to the crash and data transmission “consistent with online game activity” in the minutes leading up to the crash. Huang’s family claims he was letting games run passively on his phone to collect data.
Thankfully it didn't kill anyone else. Hope it hurt like hell.
