Why would they do that and open themselves up to lawsuits etc? That would make no sense.
I have yet to see the owner's response to Tesla's findings but I would imagine that he's going to stick to his guns and insist that his wife knew what she was doing and that its still the car's fault for accelerating into the building. If the logs were examined by an independent third party and confirmed that it was operator error, I think it would lend more credibility to Tesla's statement. Again, my initial reaction to reading about this story was confirmed in that it was probably the driver mistaking the gas pedal with the brake pedal.
I'm guessing that the vast majority of traffic accidents are caused by operator error, allowing driver access to the logs for evidence preservation should have no actual legal ramification to Tesla.
Now if Tesla is in the wrong and had a bug that caused an accident, opening up the logs to the driver would mean they can't just cover it up and claim otherwise, which I think is a good thing. \
