Tesla says Autopilot not to blame in crash with bus in Germany

Earlier this week, a Tesla car crashed into a tourist bus on a motorway in northern Germany with the driver claiming he had activated the car's autopilot system.

The federal government estimates that V2V connectivity could ultimately prevent or reduce the severity of about 80 percent of collisions that don't involve a driver impaired by drugs or alcohol.
