Crashed Tesla drove himself

palo alto - The Tesla on Friday with almost 100 kilometers per hour crashed into a fire truck in the American state of Utah had the Autopilot on. The function with which the car can partly drive independently has been under a magnifying glass for some time because of previous accidents, where the question is whether the system was not working properly or the fault lies with the driver.

The woman in the car broke her ankle. Police investigations that include data from the car shows that the woman had not touched the wheel in the 80 seconds prior to the crash. She was busy with her phone. A Tesla with Autopilot can steer, but drivers may not give the wheel too long.

Tesla got criticism last week because of the lack of sensors that keep an eye on whether a driver is watching the road. Some other car manufacturers with systems for partially autonomous driving have cameras that register what the driver is watching. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that his cars were not chosen because such solutions would not work properly.
