    Investigators suspect that the vehicle was running in Tesla’s “Autopilot” mode, which the manufacturer says “enables your car to steer, accelerate, and brake automatically within its lane.” However, the feature does not make the car autonomous and requires “active driver supervision,” according to Tesla’s website.

    The only way this will work properly is if the entire environment around is automated for them to interact with.

    Plus shouldn't there be some type of safety feature so that the car will not operate if someone isn't sitting i the driver's seat?

    I'm not saying this is specifically in any infrastructure proposal but they often mention money to "modernize" roads.

    Beginning to think that doesn't just mean fix teh potholes.

    Just another Tesla crash to investigate not much to see here.

    Best to focus on the new software update instead and Dogecoin.

    Right Elon?
