Can you provide a source? From all the articles I can find, the language is all pretty much the same:
"Tesla driver killed while using autopilot"
"The Tesla driver killed in the first known fatal crash involving a self-driving car"
"It's been nearly a year and a half since Joshua Brown became the first person to die in a car driving itself."
"Tesla bears some blame for self-driving crash death, feds say"

- dahdum 9y agoTesla doesn’t have self driving capability, their autopilot is just driver assistance (like adaptive cruise control).
- falcolas 9y agoDriver assistance that takes care of everything (i.e. steering, braking, navigating, parking), that at the time the accident occurred didn't even require hands on the steering wheel? Seems like an attempt to shift the blame off the autopilot system and onto the driver.
