The incident occurred in Virginia, when a 57-year-old died after the car he was driving crashed into a truck.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating a fatal crash in Virginia that may have involved Tesla’s Autopilot system. The 57-year-old died in July when the car he was driving hit a heavy truck.
According to a statement from the Sheriff’s office for Fauquier County, Virginia, where July’s fatal crash took place, the Tesla ran under the side of a tractor trailer after the truck’s driver tried to turn onto a highway. The truck driver was cited for reckless driving. Tesla has been offering its Autopilot technology since 2015 for customers who pay a premium to activate it on their vehicles. The technology is “designed to assist you with the most burdensome parts of driving,” Tesla says on its web site. “Autopilot enables your car to steer, accelerate and brake automatically within its lane.”
