Tesla seems to have less to do with his controversial driving assistants had “autopilot” an accident as a last thought.
in an accident in the state of Pennsylvania, the system was the log files off of the vehicle, according to, wrote Tesla CEO Elon Musk at night at Twitter. “Moreover, the crash would not have happened if it had been turned on,” he said.
The driver of the electric car had told the police to recent information, he was on July 1, with “autopilot” been traveling as the car left the road and overturned. Tesla had initially stated that it could not verify this claim – the car had transmitted to radio no data, possibly because have been damaged in the accident, the antenna. Then Tesla was the owner of the car can not at first reach out to evaluate the log data directly from the vehicle.
After Musks short tweets now, however, remained an open question whether “autopilot” may still be turned on before the accident might have been. When asked by a Twitter user why the driver had then told otherwise, the premise of the Tesla boss, maybe this did not notice that he had issued the system. However, it resound a clear acoustic signal, Musk conceded. The software had not turned off by itself, that would have been recorded in the log files, he said.
After the fatal crash in early May in Florida, in which a controlled computer Tesla at a crossing trucks -Anhänger raced, the system of US authorities is investigated. Each new alleged accident with “autopilot” thereby drawing a lot of attention. Recently confirmed Tesla that last weekend a controlled via steering assistant coach after midnight veered off a mountain road. Tesla emphasized that these are not the conditions under which the “autopilot” Wizard should be used now.
The influential US magazine “Consumer Reports” called Tesla on to deactivate the system. The carmaker has introduced too fast too far-reaching objectives. By Tesla system marketed under the name “autopilot”, the company will give users a false sense of security. “” Autopilot “, the car did not go alone, allows consumers but to take their hands for minutes from the tax.”
The President of the German industry association VDA, Matthias Wissmann, said the “Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung” (Friday ), the Tesla accidents showed that the producers “must never lose the security issue from the eye” in the development of the current partial automation of a car to full automation from 2025. ‘/ p>
