Consumer Reports tricks Tesla to drive with no one at wheel

Its test came just days after a Tesla crashed in Texas, killing the two men in the car. Authorities say neither of the men were in the driver's seat at the time of the crash.Tesla’s Autopilot partially automated system can keep a car centred in its lane, keep a distance from cars in front of it, and can even change lanes on its own with a driver's consent. But Tesla has said the driver must be ready to intervene at all times.

“Tesla is falling behind other automakers like GM and Ford that, on models with advanced driver assist systems, use technology to make sure the driver is looking at the road.”Tesla, which is based in Palo Alto, California, and has disbanded its press office, did not immediately respond to inquiries about Consumer Reports' assertions.

Also on Thursday, Senator Richard Blumenthal and Edward Markey asked federal officials to conduct a thorough investigation of the Texas crash and make recommendations for improving automated driving.

Suggesting to double-check before republishing such a nonsense 🤦‍♂️
