巴黎法国交通部长周三表示，现阶段没有迹象表明在巴黎发生的涉及特斯拉 (TSLA) Model 3 出租车的致命事故是由技术故障引起的。
巴黎领先的出租车公司 G7 在周六发生一起涉及一名司机的事故，造成 1 人死亡和 20 人受伤后，已暂停其车队中 37 辆 Model 3 汽车的使用。
据一位接近调查的人士称，三人情况严重。
“没有任何因素会让人们相信它与技术问题有关，”交通部长让-巴蒂斯特·杰巴里 (Jean-Baptiste Djebbari) 告诉 RMC 电台。
这位部长说，他曾与特斯拉欧洲公司的首席执行官谈过，他告诉他没有关于 Model 3 的安全警报。
特斯拉没有回应置评请求。这家汽车制造商从其车辆上的传感器和摄像头收集详细数据，并在过去使用这些数据来质疑事故是由技术故障引起的说法。
G7 副首席执行官 Yann Ricordel 周一援引特斯拉的话说，初步调查已排除技术故障。
里科德尔说，事故发生在一名下班的出租车司机带家人去一家餐馆时。里科德尔说，司机试图刹车，但汽车却加速了。
一名警方消息人士告诉路透社，这辆停在红灯处的汽车突然向前加速，撞上并拖着一名后来死亡的骑自行车的人。
警方消息人士援引司机自己对事件、目击者和视频监控的说法称，司机试图通过转向周围的障碍物（包括垃圾箱）来阻止车辆，造成进一步破坏。
目前尚不清楚这辆车是否在自动驾驶模式下运行。警方消息人士称，司机在酒精测试中呈阴性。
一名司法消息人士称，已经对司机非故意杀人案展开调查。
路透社获得的现场视频显示，一辆黑色特斯拉汽车的残骸和散落在街对面的碎片。车辆左侧被压扁，左前轮塌陷，挡风玻璃碎裂。
这辆车似乎与一辆白色面包车相撞，这辆面包车前端受损。社交媒体上流传的其他视频显示，事故发生后，公众正在照料受伤和震惊的旁观者。
Paris taxi firm suspends Tesla fleet after fatal accident
ParisFrance's transport minister said on Wednesday there was no suggestion at this stage that a fatal accident in Paris involving a Tesla (TSLA) Model 3 taxi was caused by a technical fault.
Leading Paris taxi company G7 has suspended the use of the 37 Model 3 cars in its fleet after an accident on Saturday involving one of its drivers in which one person was killed and 20 injured.
Three people are in serious condition, according to a person close to the investigation.
"There are no elements that would lead one to believe it was tied to a technical problem," Transport Minister Jean-Baptiste Djebbari told RMC radio.
The minister said he had spoken with the chief executive of Tesla Europe who told him there had been no safety alerts about the Model 3.
Tesla has not responded to requests for comment. The automaker collects detailed data from the sensors and cameras on its vehicles and has used such data in the past to challenge claims that accidents were caused by malfunctioning technology.
G7 Deputy Chief Executive Yann Ricordel cited Tesla as saying on Monday that an initial inquiry had ruled out a technical fault.
Ricordel said the accident occurred while an off-duty taxi driver was taking his family to a restaurant. The driver tried to brake but the car accelerated instead, Ricordel said.
A police source told Reuters that the car, which had stopped at a red traffic light, suddenly sped forward, hitting and dragging with it a cyclist who later died.
The driver tried to stop the vehicle by steering into surrounding obstacles, including trash bins, causing further damage, the police source said, citing the driver's own version of events, witnesses and video surveillance.
It was not clear whether the car was operating in autopilot mode. The driver tested negative in a alcohol test, the police source said.
A judicial source said that an investigation into involuntary homicide by the driver had been opened.
Video of the scene obtained by Reuters showed the wreckage of a black Tesla and debris strewn across the street. The vehicle's left-hand side was crumpled, the front left wheel collapsed and the windscreen shattered.
The car appeared to have collided with a white van, which suffered front-end damage. Other footage circulating on social media showed members of the public tending to the wounded and shocked bystanders in the aftermath of the accident.
