Dead Skunk In The Middle Of The Road June 22nd 17 06:59 AM

Duhumb leftwing driver killed in Tesla crash was warned seven timesto put hands on wheel
 
Joshua Brown's Tesla warned him seven times to put his hands
back on the wheel before he plowed into a truck.

A National Transportation Safety Board report on the deadly
crash also found that Brown had his hands on the wheel of the
Tesla (TSLA) Model S for 25 seconds out of 37 minutes that the
car was on autopilot.

The crash, near Gainesville, Florida, in May 2016, drew
attention because of the questions it raised about the safety of
self-driving cars.

An earlier investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration found that the crash was not the result of any
defect in Tesla's autopilot feature, which can keep a car in a
lane and brake to avoid traffic and other obstacles.

In this case, the car hit the trailer of a truck that pulled
across its lanes of traffic at an intersection.

The NTSB cautioned that its report was only fact-finding about
the crash. The agency said it was not drawing conclusions about
why the crash happened.
