The doctor accused of driving his family off a cliff in California, Dharmesh Patel, has blamed his Tesla for malfunctioning, while his wife and witnesses maintain it was a deliberate act. According to court documents, Patel claimed that the car’s sensor indicated low tire pressure, prompting him to stop and check the tires before the car tumbled down the bluff. However, his wife refuted his claims, stating that he had expressed intentions of driving off the cliff due to his depression. Patel, a radiologist, was charged with attempted murder, and witnesses’ accounts and surveillance video support the intentional act theory.
