DETROIT (AP) — Authorities in Washington have determined that a Tesla that hit and killed a motorcyclist near Seattle in April was operating on the company's “Full Self Driving” system at the time of the crash.
DETROIT — Authorities in Washington have determined that a Tesla that hit and killed a motorcyclist near Seattle in April was operating on the company's “Full Self Driving” system at the time of the crash.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said last week that “Full Self Driving” should be able to run without human supervision by the end of this year. He has been promising a fleet of robotaxis for several years. During the company’s earnings conference call, he acknowledged that his predictions on the issue “have been overly optimistic in the past.”
The 56-year-old driver was arrested for investigation of vehicular homicide “based on the admitted inattention to driving, while on Autopilot mode, and the distraction of the cell phone while moving forward, putting trust in the machine to drive for him,” the affidavit said. Tesla says at present neither system can drive itself and that human drivers must be ready to take control at any time.
