NTSB 'unhappy' with Tesla for releasing information about fatal crash
The National Transportation Safety Board is "unhappy" about Tesla's decision to release information from an investigation of a fatal crash involving its Autopilot system. A vehicle using the semi-autonomous system crashed into a concrete lane divider on Highway 101 in Mountain View, California, last week. The car's driver, Wei Huang, a 38-year-old software engineer for Apple, was killed. Tesla released a statement on its website that said data showed the driver did not have his hands on the wheel, as recommended, and received several warnings from the system before the crash. The company said its Autopilot feature can keep speed, change lanes and self-park but requires drivers to keep their eyes on the road and hands on the wheel, in order to be able to take control and avoid accidents.
