| Recurring |
unknown |
(a) The software failure incident having happened again at one_organization:
The article does not mention any previous similar incidents happening within the same organization (Tesla) or with its products and services. Therefore, there is no information to suggest that a similar software failure incident has occurred again at Tesla or with its products in the past [117259].
(b) The software failure incident having happened again at multiple_organization:
The article does not provide any information indicating that a similar software failure incident has happened at other organizations or with their products and services. Hence, there is no mention of this incident being a recurring issue across multiple organizations [117259]. |
| Phase (Design/Operation) |
operation |
(a) The article does not provide specific information indicating a software failure incident related to the design phase of system development, system updates, or procedures to operate or maintain the system.
(b) The article mentions a potential software failure incident related to the operation phase. The driver's lawyer stated that the man noticed smoke coming from the back of the Model S Plaid before he tried exiting the car. The locks appeared to malfunction, according to the driver's attorney, but he was able to "force his way out of the vehicle" [117259]. This indicates a failure related to the operation or misuse of the system. |
| Boundary (Internal/External) |
outside_system |
(a) within_system: The article does not provide any information indicating that the software failure incident was due to contributing factors originating from within the system. Therefore, it is unknown whether the software failure incident falls under this category based on the provided information. [117259]
(b) outside_system: The article mentions that the driver noticed smoke coming from the back of the Model S Plaid before trying to exit the car. The locks appeared to malfunction, according to the driver's attorney. This suggests that the failure may have been due to contributing factors originating from outside the system, possibly related to the physical components or external factors affecting the car's operation.

| Nature (Human/Non-human) |
human_actions |
(a) The software failure incident occurring due to non-human actions:
- The article does not provide any information indicating that the software failure incident was due to non-human actions. It primarily focuses on the fire incident involving a Tesla Model S Plaid near Philadelphia and the subsequent investigation into the cause of the fire. Therefore, it is unknown whether non-human actions contributed to the software failure incident.
(b) The software failure incident occurring due to human actions:
- The article mentions that the driver noticed smoke coming from the back of the Model S Plaid before trying to exit the car. The locks appeared to malfunction, according to the driver's attorney, suggesting a potential issue with the software or electronic systems controlled by humans. Additionally, the driver's lawyer called for Tesla to sideline these cars until a full investigation can occur, indicating concerns about potential human-related factors contributing to the incident [117259]. |
| Dimension (Hardware/Software) |
software |
(a) The article does not provide specific information indicating a hardware-related failure in this incident. Therefore, it is unknown if the software failure incident occurred due to contributing factors originating in hardware.
(b) The article mentions that the driver noticed smoke coming from the back of the Tesla Model S Plaid before trying to exit the car. The locks appeared to malfunction, according to the driver's attorney, but he was able to "force his way out of the vehicle" [117259]. This suggests a potential software-related failure in the locking mechanism of the vehicle, which could have contributed to the incident. |
| Objective (Malicious/Non-malicious) |
non-malicious |
(a) The articles do not provide any information indicating that the software failure incident was malicious in nature. The incident seems to be related to a fire in a Tesla Model S Plaid, with the driver noticing smoke coming from the back of the vehicle before managing to escape [117259].
(b) The incident appears to be non-malicious, with the driver's lawyer describing it as a "harrowing and frightening situation" and calling for a full investigation to determine the cause of the fire [117259]. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is also involved in gathering information about the incident to assess any potential safety risks [117259]. |
| Intent (Poor/Accidental Decisions) |
unknown |
The articles do not provide information about the intent of the software failure incident related to poor decisions or accidental decisions. |
| Capability (Incompetence/Accidental) |
unknown |
(a) The article does not mention any information related to the software failure incident being caused by development incompetence or lack of professional competence by humans or the development organization. Therefore, it is unknown whether the incident was due to development incompetence.
(b) The article does not provide any details indicating that the software failure incident was accidental. Therefore, it is unknown whether the incident was accidental. |
| Duration |
unknown |
The articles do not provide specific information about the duration of the software failure incident related to the Tesla Model S Plaid bursting into flames near Philadelphia. Therefore, it is unknown whether the software failure incident was permanent or temporary. |
| Behaviour |
other |
(a) crash: The incident reported in Article 117259 does not specifically mention a crash of the software system. The focus is on the Tesla Model S Plaid catching fire and the owner escaping from the vehicle [117259].
(b) omission: The article does not indicate that the software system omitted to perform its intended functions at any instance.
(c) timing: There is no mention in the article of the software system performing its intended functions too late or too early.
(d) value: The article does not provide information suggesting that the software system performed its intended functions incorrectly.
(e) byzantine: The article does not describe the software system behaving erroneously with inconsistent responses and interactions.
(f) other: The behavior of the software failure incident in this case is related to a fire incident in a Tesla Model S Plaid, where the owner noticed smoke coming from the back of the vehicle and had difficulty exiting due to malfunctioning locks. The incident is more related to a physical safety issue rather than a specific software failure behavior [117259]. |
