Tesla’s Latest Autopilot Death Looks Just Like a Prior Crash
'''May 16, 2019 A Tesla Model 3 sedan that crashed into a truck on a Florida highway in March, killing its driver, had its Autopilot semi-autonomous feature engaged, according to a new report from the National Transportation Safety Board.
The driver is at least the fourth person to die in an Autopilot-related crash. What’s striking about the March 1 crash is that the details are nearly identical to those of the first publicly reported, deadly Autopilot crash, in May 2016. In each case, a Tesla running Autopilot on a Florida highway struck a truck cutting across its path, killing the Tesla’s driver.
CEO Elon Musk has bragged about his cars’ self-driving capabilities and promised they’ll be fully autonomous starting next year.
