proof that the technology is not yet perfected US authorities are investigating the first death potentially caused by self-driving technology. The driver of a Tesla car died in Florida in May after colliding with a lorry. Under scrutiny is Tesla's Autopilot feature, which automatically changes lanes and reacts to traffic. In a statement, Tesla said it appeared the Model S car was unable to recognise "the white side of the tractor trailer against a brightly lit sky" that had driven across the car's path. The company said the crash this year was a "tragic loss". The collision led to the death of Tesla driver Joshua Brown, 40. The driver of the truck, which was pulling a trailer, was unhurt. |

Had to happen, the whole things a hairbrained geeky project, People like driving or like to be driven by someone but not many would like driven by Autonomous machine, the clever designers forget that a human driver have things that a Microchip can never have, real life experience, the ability to think ahead on the move, the freedom to change there mind, that life saving split second decision to avoid a major accident which is a lot better than a few Pre Programmed options that a Driverless car has to work through in sequence in an instant and of which none of them might be the correct choice. |

Not necessarily,you will have to wait for all details before apportioning blame,at the moment I would say from the details published it may be the system in the car at fault. |
