Tesla Updates Radar in Wake of Autonomous Car Crashes

Reuters reported Tuesday that Germany's Transport Minister Alexander Dobrindt plans legislation requiring self-driving cars be outfitted with data-recording systems in an effort to bring more accountability and to give automakers and engineers a chance to learn from the systems' mistakes. The proposal would enable autonomous car users to divert some of their attention from traffic while the systems are on as long as they are seated at the wheel but require that they maintain black boxes that track when the programs request drivers take over.
