Can you provide a source? From all the articles I can find, the language is all pretty much the same:

"Tesla driver killed while using autopilot"

"The Tesla driver killed in the first known fatal crash involving a self-driving car"

"It's been nearly a year and a half since Joshua Brown became the first person to die in a car driving itself."

"Tesla bears some blame for self-driving crash death, feds say"



Tesla doesn’t have self driving capability, their autopilot is just driver assistance (like adaptive cruise control).


Driver assistance that takes care of everything (i.e. steering, braking, navigating, parking), that at the time the accident occurred didn't even require hands on the steering wheel?

Seems like an attempt to shift the blame off the autopilot system and onto the driver.


Could you please not use allcaps for emphasis in HN comments?

Sorry, I just pasted the text in the article.
