In Seattle, a 28-year-old motorcyclist lost his life when a Tesla Model S in "Full Self-Driving" mode collided with him, leading to the driver’s arrest for vehicular homicide.
According to authorities, a 28-year-old motorcyclist was murdered in April in the Seattle region when a Tesla Model S in "Full Self-Driving" mode collided with him. This is at least the second death involving the technology that Tesla CEO Elon Musk is emphasizing.
Reuters shares that the 56-year-old motorist was taken into custody on suspicion of vehicular homicide after admitting to the police that he was using his phone.
Arrest Made Following Deadly Tesla Collision
Washington State Patrol Sergeant Chris Loftis stated, "The case is still under active investigation," emphasizing that drivers must take full responsibility for the security of their vehicles.
Musk has said that he will be surprised if Tesla doesn't reach full self-driving capability next year, and he has refocused his efforts on self-driving vehicles this year, shelving Tesla's all-new inexpensive automobiles.
“The overwhelmingly important thing is achieving unsupervised full self-driving," he stated in an interview with the Tesla Owners of Silicon Valley group last weekend.
He compared a future car to a "tiny mobile lounge" where passengers may do anything from work to watching movies and playing video games to even sleeping and drinking.
Per MSN, despite the increasing regulatory and legal scrutiny of self-driving technology, Musk has been striving to achieve it for several years.
Tesla's Autonomous Driving Under Fire After Fatal Crash
Autopilot and "supervised" Full Self-Driving are names for Tesla's driver assistance features; nevertheless, the company claims that these functions do not enable fully autonomous driving and instead necessitate human oversight.
One fatal collision occurred between August 2022 and August 2023, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Following the identification of over a dozen accidents in which Tesla vehicles collided with stopped emergency vehicles and the assessment of hundreds of accidents using Autopilot, the regulator initiated an investigation into Autopilot in August 2021.
Thanks to inadequate safety features, Tesla was compelled to recall almost all of its vehicles operating on American roads.
