Ex-Navy SEAL becomes first to die in self-driving car after Tesla crash

A former Navy SEAL has become the first person to die at the wheel of a self-driving car - and a witness has claimed he was watching a Harry Potter movie when his Tesla collided with a truck while on autopilot. Joshua Brown, 40, died after his computer-guided Tesla Model S plowed into a tractor trailer on a freeway in Williston, Florida, in May. Despite the claim, Tesla says it is not possible to play films on the vehicle's touchscreen - however it is possible Brown was using another device. The driver of the truck, Frank Baressi, said the Tesla driver was'playing Harry Potter on the TV screen' at the time of the crash. 'It was still playing when he died and snapped a telephone pole a quarter mile down the road,' Baressi, 62, said.
