Here are a couple of points found: % - http://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/2016/07/26/tesla-speeding/87578862/ NTSB: Tesla driver in fatal crash was speeding July 26, 2016 Washington – The driver of a 2015 Tesla Model S who was killed in a crash while it was operating with its Autopilot system activated was speeding, the National Transportation Safety Board said Tuesday. The NTSB said Joshua Brown, 40, of Ohio, was driving at 74 miles per hour with the car’s semi-autonomous driving system engaged at the time of the crash that took his life. The agency said the roadway that Brown was driving on has a 65 miles per hour speed limit. “Tesla system performance data downloaded from the car indicated that vehicle speed just prior to impact was 74 mph ..." - % Speeding(?), who goes the actual speed limit? Well, I try to in the far right lane, but I still get harassed. In fact in some locations, the police will pull you over for impeding the traffic flow. IMO the above piece really means nada,zilch if the driver was only going ~10 mph over the speed limit to keep from being run off the rode by human-drivers. % - http://arstechnica.co.uk/cars/2016/07/tesla-mobileye-autopilot-partnership-ends/ Tesla parts ways with Autopilot chip maker ... 27/7/2016 Divorce from Mobileye is probably fallout ... over the respective responses to a fatal crash involving a Tesla Model S that occurred in Florida in May ... - % Some fall out from the crash. For me it shows that Tesla is not afraid to make needed changes if the companies they rely on are not up to the job. % For EVLN EV-newswire posts use: http://evdl.org/evln/ {brucedp.150m.com} -- View this message in context: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/Tesla-autopilot-s-first-fatal-crash-tp4682798p4683090.html Sent from the Electric Vehicle Discussion List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/ Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
