if you point it at a house and floor the accelerator from a few hundred meters away?
I don’t know for sure and I can’t think of a good way to test. It certainly wouldn’t hit it when “driving itself” with smart cruise control or if I tried to drive into it from a few metres away.
Well yeah, but it seems likely in this case the accelerator was being floored, dunno for how long. So much as I hate to give tesla a pass, they’re probably not really at fault here unless new info appears.

And what if you were doing 70mph for a few hundred meters before the house?
You’d be going right into that house. No car will stop that.

Well the driver now claims he passed out, so the Tesla definitely isn’t at fault.
