Tesla cleared in investigation of fatal Autopilot crash

Last year, Tesla's Autopilot tech suffered its first casualty when a Florida man was killed while using the semi-autonomous driving system. Now the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has completed its investigation of the incident and says it wasn't Tesla's fault.

The crash sparked a NHTSA investigation, along with calls from groups like Consumer Reports demanding that Tesla rename the feature and disable it to avoid future incidents. Notably, while the name of the feature infers full autonomy, it is specifically not a completely self-driving car.
