WASHINGTON - The National Transportation Safety Board said late on Friday it is sending a team to investigate Friday’s fatal crash between a Tesla Inc car and a commercial vehicle in Florida. The NTSB and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are investigating several crashes involving the use of Tesla’s driver assistance system Autopilot including a fatal crash in California in March 2018.

A report on Friday’s crash released by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Department did not indicate if Autopilot was engaged at the time of the crash that killed the 50-year-old Tesla Model 3 owner.Our Standards:

Good thing no other cars crashed that day. I can not believe how many of these cars are on the road in Northern Mass. DTS

Awan. It’s not the car it’s who they killed look past the BS who did the car kill?

Good. Interdict that souped up cruise control! A Tesla is not an autonomous vehicle ffs. It's hampering progress and will give self driving cars a bad name before they even are available.

What happened ?

-Car crashes -Battery ruptures -Car burns driver to death -Tesla apologists pretend there is no problem because more gasoline powered cars have burnt than battery EV's over the last 120 years ...simple really!

saskboy !

Theoretically, a truly AUTOmobile world would have less crashes, despite this one.
