Tesla CEO Elon Musk speaks before unveiling the Model Y at the company's design studio in Hawthorne, Calif., on March 14. By Hamza Shaban Hamza Shaban Technology reporter Email Bio Follow May 17 at 9:57 AM Tesla’s Autopilot system was active in a Model 3 that collided with a tractor-trailer during a fatal crash in March, the National Transportation Safety Board said Thursday.
“Preliminary data from the vehicle show that the Tesla’s Autopilot system—an advanced driver assistance system that provides both longitudinal and lateral control over vehicle motion—was active at the time of the crash,” NTSB said in a preliminary report. The Autopilot system was turned on about 10 seconds before the crash, the report said, and the vehicle did not detect the driver’s hands on the steering wheel during the final seconds before the collision.
In a statement, Tesla said the driver “immediately removed his hands from the wheel,” after engaging the Autopilot. “We are deeply saddened by this accident and our thoughts are with everyone affected by this tragedy,” the company said. The driver was Jeremy Banner, 50. But some critics say that autopilot technology can give drivers a false sense of security, and that boosterism surrounding autonomous vehicles is setting the industry up for failure.

Tesla Autopilot was in use before car hit truck in fatal crash, NTSB findsA Tesla Model S car involved in a fatal crash with a semi-trailer in Florida was operating on the company’s semiautonomous Autopilot system, federal investigators have determined. LA Times, I cannot believe that you published such raw material. Looks you were paid to publish that. Tesla Autopilot neural net is learning every day as a child do growing and every day becomes better. Where is current data LA Times? Didn’t we know this when the accident first occurred? That is still NO TIME FOR Autopilot system on public roads,more likely coz of too many receivers and too many satelites working in the same area,so keep it sober and drive safely on ur own.

Tesla on autopilot crashed when the driver's hands were not on the wheelIt's happened again: A Tesla driver turned on the car's Autopilot feature and took his hands off the wheel before a fatal crash. Do these auto pilots have a valid drivers license ? Maybe they are DUI. Honestly... This is a perfect example of the lengths one human is willing to go to be unaccountable to the others around them. “The NTSB's report did not indicate the Tesla driver was at fault and said the investigation is ongoing” Gosh cnn. It’s like you make shit up out of thin air or something.

Tesla’s Autopilot Was Engaged in Fatal Florida Crash, Investigators FindTesla’s driver-assistance feature was active and the driver’s hands weren’t detected on the wheel during a fatal crash in March, U.S. safety investigators said, a finding that could amp up scrutiny of the car maker’s Autopilot system. Nearly 1.25 million people die in road crashes each year, on average 3,287 deaths a day. An additional 20-50 million are injured or disabled. Yet $tsla gets a write up? At what point will the autonomous vehicle craze end? Companies need to understand that human nature requires us to be active participants in our lives. No one wants to be a passenger. If you drive on AP you are responsible, if it crashes you are to blame. So why does this ONE crash have to be brought up, and not one of the other thousands of human caused crashes?

As Democrats champion free college, one GOP state already has a model programThe Volunteer State's 'Tennessee Promise' program offers two years of tuition-free community college or technical school to all high school graduates. Sounds like a great way to tax poor people, funny how it’s always about taxing poor people. the lottery being a tax on people who are bad at math aside, this is a republican idea I can get behind. A 2 year degree would vastly improve the economic situation of tens of millions of people... And thus improve the nation's economy. DaveMcKinley2 We need smarter reps in NY then morons like Kennedy and Ryan to accomplish something like this.
