Video shows the moment drones started falling from the sky during a drone show at Eola Lake in Orlando, Florida on Dec. 21, 2024. The National Transportation Safety Board released its preliminary report on Thursday into what went wrong at a Florida drone show last month that caused some of the aircraft to go rogue, leaving a little boy seriously injured. The mishap took place during a Christmas light show put on by Sky Elements at Lake Eola Park in Orlando on Dec. 21, 2024. Hundreds of people were watching the aerial show when several of the drones flew out of formation – some colliding with one another before falling to the ground. One of the rogue drones struck a 7-year-old boy in the face and chest, knocking him out upon impact.

Radar in Uber's self-driving vehicle detected pedestrian Elaine Herzberg more than five seconds before the SUV crashed into her, according to a new report from the National Safety Transportation Board. Unfortunately, a series of poor software design decisions prevented the software from taking any action until 0.2 seconds before the deadly crash in Tempe, Arizona. Herzberg's death occurred in March 2018, and the NTSB published its initial report on the case in May of that year. That report made clear that badly written software, not failing hardware, was responsible for the crash that killed Herzberg. But the new report, released Tuesday, marks the end of NTSB's 20-month investigation.

Raw video: Cameras mounted inside the car catches the fatal moment. Authorites are investigating the cause of the crash. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) says that an Uber self-driving car that struck and killed a pedestrian in Arizona in 2018 was unable to detect jaywalkers. Elaine Herzberg died in March 2018 when an Uber vehicle struck her as she walked across a darkened street in Tempe. The board said the Uber autonomous driving system spotted Herzberg before hitting her but a system used to automatically apply brakes in potentially dangerous situations had been automatically disabled.

Fox News Flash top headlines for September 4 are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com A government report says the driver of a Tesla that slammed into a firetruck near Los Angeles last year was using the car's Autopilot system when a vehicle in front of him suddenly changed lanes and he didn't have time to react. The report raises further questions about the effectiveness of Tesla's system, which was in operation before several other crashes including two fatalities in Florida and one in Silicon Valley. Tesla warns drivers that the system is not fully autonomous and drivers must be ready to intervene.

UPDATED Arizona police report that the safety driver involved in the March's fatal Uber crash was streaming a television show on Hulu before the autonomous test car struck and killed a homeless woman, 49-year-old Elaine Herzberg. On the face of it, the report appears to contradict the driver's claim that she was monitoring the Uber interface on the modified Volvo's dashboard immediately before the accident, which took place at night on 18 March, in Tempe. According to the local Police Department, the safety driver's account was playing'The Voice' for about 42 minutes, ending at 9.59pm, the approximate time of the crash. Video footage from inside the car showed her looking down for seven of the 22 minutes before the collision. The police say that the accident would have been "entirely avoidable" had the driver, 44-year-old Rafaela Vasquez, been watching the road.

Raw video: Cameras mounted inside the car catches the fatal moment. Authorites are investigating the cause of the crash. The self-driving Uber SUV that struck and killed Elaine Herzberg in Tempe, Ariz., in March picked her up on its sensors six seconds before it hit her, but did not determine that it needed to stop or evade her until it was too late, according to federal investigators. Herzberg was jaywalking her bicycle across a four-lane section of road on the night of March 18 when the Volvo XC90 SUV ran into her. A preliminary report on the accident from the National Transportation Safety Board issued on Thursday said that a review of the data from the car shows that it first identified her as an unknown object, then as a vehicle and finally as a bicycle.

An investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has determined that "operational limitations" of Tesla's Autopilot system played a "major role" in a fatal crash last May, but that the driver was also at fault for not paying adequate attention to the road. Tesla owner Joshua Brown was using the semi-autonomous system on a Florida highway when both he and the car failed to notice a tractor-trailer turning left across the road. At the time, Autopilot was capable of steering the car within its lane and autonomously braking for vehicles in the road ahead. Following the incident, Tesla said that the vehicles sensors were unable to identify the white truck against the bright sky behind it. According to Reuters, the NTSB found that the system worked as designed, but should've done more to ensure driver attentiveness and restrict its use to highways and limited-access roads.

A man killed in a crash last year while using the semi-autonomous driving system on his Tesla Model S sedan kept his hands off the wheel for extended periods of time despite repeated automated warnings not to do so, a US government report said on Monday. The National Transportation Safety Board released 500 pages of findings into the May 2016 death of Joshua Brown, a former Navy SEAL, near Williston, Florida. Brown's Model S collided with a truck while it was engaged in the'Autopilot' mode and he was killed. A Tesla Inc spokeswoman Tesla spokeswoman Keely Sulprizio declined to comment on the NTSB report. Lawyers for Brown's family did not return messages seeking comment.
