The booming autonomous vehicle industry inspired the confidence of millions of people around the world until the awful accident had happened. The first American death involving a Tesla Model S with autopilot active puzzled Tesla engineers. The main question is how the live-saving technology could cause a fatal crash.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is now investigating this absolutely unexpected incident. The death of the 40-year-old Joshua D. Brown was announced on Thursday, although he was killed May 7 in Williston, Florida. The Tesla's autopilot mode was designed to control the vehicle during highway driving. Nevertheless, the car's sensors system failed to distinguish the white side of a turning large 18-wheel truck and trailer crossing the highway.
