RIP Tesla fatal crash driver exceeding the speed limit
 

Is the car able to speed when using the operating system?

I read, Joshua Brown 40, a former naval seal turned technology entrepreneur was speeding at 74mph when he died in a fatal crash in his Tesla. He was using the self drive system at the time of the incident!

Drivers are always instructed to keep their hands on the steering wheel & be aware of the road, now, seeing the "autosteer lane keeping assistance" & "auto pilot system". Both includes a mass of devices of cameras, radar & sensors to prevent collisions.

Was this Tesla fault or the driver for relying on the systems?

I read this in our local paper, maybe someone can find more information online as this is quite a disaster for such a vehicle :(

Shame :2 cents:

I just looked it up on the net & read, it's slightly old news... sorry people

Although, I hadn't heard about this, so maybe some of you are still interested, especially those with Tesla or self automated cars.

Self drive isn't an excuse to be stupid.

what idiot would let new tech like that self-drive at 75mph?!

dunno how you missed it, there was the usual repeats of six or seven threads on this like there is every time anything newsworthy happens.

Absolutely both of you, how fking stupid if he was just sitting back doing nothing :helpme
