According to the article, Tesla has stated that the Autopilot driver-assist system was not enabled during a crash that killed a motorcyclist in the Seattle area. The collision occurred on March 23rd when a Tesla Model Y SUV collided with a motorcycle and its rider, resulting in the motorcyclist’s death. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating the crash. Tesla’s Autopilot system can keep a vehicle in its lane and maintain a distance from vehicles in front of it. However, it requires driver supervision and does not make vehicles fully autonomous. The company emphasizes that drivers must be ready to intervene at all times when using Autopilot. This incident highlights the ongoing debate surrounding the safety and limitations of advanced driver-assist systems in vehicles.
