Data analyzed from a Model X SUV that jumped a parking lot curb and crashed into a building was not the result of autonomous driving technology, Tesla said Monday.

The owner of the brand-new Tesla Model X SUV said his 45-year-old wife was driving the car at about 2 p.m. Sunday. As she was parking the vehicle in a shopping plaza in Irvine, Calif., the vehicle suddenly accelerated at “maximum speed” by itself, said Puzant Ozbag, the owner of the vehicle.
