Unless you can find the NHTSA special crash investigation, I would direct your lower faith towards the article author/editor. It seems likely FSD Beta 10.69.3.x version was installed but less clear if it was actually active.fact that the NHTSA or whatever alphabet agency they are now can’t differentiate between fsd and NoA lowers my faith in them even more
I suspect the article was actually indirectly based on the NHTSA general order.
