Elon Musk says Tesla WON'T switch off Autopilot feature following fatal crash

Tesla boss Elon Musk said the electric car maker has no plans to disable its Autopilot feature in the wake of a fatal accident in which the driver of a Model S car was using the technology. Instead, the company is planning an'explanatory blog post' to educate customers on how the feature works. 'A lot of people don't understand what it is and how you turn it on,' Musk told the Wall Street Journal in an interview. Elon Musk told the Wall Street Journal he had pushed hard to launch the Autopilot feature as soon as possible because'we knew we had a system that on balance would save lives.'
