The collision was at least the third fatal crash in the U.S. involving Tesla's driver-assistance system.
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.
