Tesla: Autopilot not behind Netherlands wreck
Tesla says its self-driving Autopilot feature was not active when an unidentified Model S driver in the Netherlands was killed in a Wednesday accident. The car crashed into a tree. According to the NL Times, the car flipped, landing upside down, with some of its batteries becoming loose. In a statement provided to USA TODAY the company denied that its self-driving technology, which was under fire following several crashes this summer, was to blame. In May an Ohio man was killed while using the feature in Florida.
