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.

sounds like the truck was at fault

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.

thats hardly "wait for all details before apportioning blame" is it
