Tesla's Autopilot controversy just took another twist

Tesla is adding the word "autopilot" back onto its Chinese website after earlier reports suggested the electric car maker had deliberately removed after a crash involving the driver-assist technology. The company told The Washington Post on Monday that it had "mistakenly dropped" the term while updating translations across its websites. The Chinese-language site will now include the word "autopilot" followed by the phrase "zidong fuzhu jiashi," which in English means "automatic-assist driving." Tesla's marketing of its autopilot feature has come under mounting scrutiny in recent months amid a string of crashes linked to the technology. Autopilot is designed to keep a Tesla vehicle driving at a certain speed and within the lane markings, without crashing into other vehicles.
