The robot revolution has begun. Sad story though. 
I am not celebrating this in the least. It's sad and horrible.
It's got to be awful as well for the people who designed and programmed the cars, knowing that their system resulted in someone getting killed.
I'd like to know the facts of this case. The article says he was watching TV, but Tesla says that can't be done. Tesla also says that the drivers hand(s) have to be on the wheel at all times and it will take action if that isn't the case, interesting.
Yes, I have heard if you take you hands off it will beep a warning and slowing slow down.
Of course, you can rest your hand on the wheel and pay no attention.

I saw a video of some goobers with a tesla playing chess and E36 M3 with that feature. Im not sure how accurate it was, but there is that. Given the utterly odd specifics that the trucker gave, something tells me the autodriving was working fine and mr. Long hauler berkeleyed up and is trying to cover his ass.
Wonder if Metallica was on the radio at the time?

Me too. I guess this thread title is supposed to be a body count? Not cool.

Everybody has that. It's called cruise control.
