Federal authorities say a"critical safety gap" in Tesla's Autopilot system contributed to at least 467 collisions, 13 resulting in fatalities.
Tesla's Autopilot design has"led to foreseeable misuse and avoidable crashes," the NHTSA report said. The system did not"sufficiently ensure driver attention and appropriate use." NHTSA suggested in its report Friday that the software update was probably inadequate, since more crashes linked to Autopilot continue to be reported.In one recent example, a Tesla driver in Snohomish County, Washington, struck and killed a motorcyclist on April 19, according to records obtained by CNBC and NBC News. The driver told police he was using Autopilot at the time of the collision.
"If somebody doesn't believe Tesla's going to solve autonomy, I think they should not be an investor in the company," Musk said on Tesla's earnings call Tuesday. He added,"We will, and we are."
