I thought the auto pilot warned the driver to take control of the vehicle or is that incorrect? There is probably a lot more we don't know and it would be premature to place the blame on the auto pilot and Tesla. This isn't a lvl 5 system. It still requires the drivers attention and that is something we need to consider ( he obviously didn't have his hands on the wheel).
- rgbrenner 9y agoTechnically tesla's statement says he was warned at some point to take control during his drive. That could have been 5 seconds into his commute, or it could have been 5 seconds before he hit the barrier. He may have taken control at that time, and then reengaged it later. He may or may not have been warned to take control before hitting the barrier. Tesla's statement is not clear on this at all.
- gibybo 9y ago>or it could have been 5 seconds before he hit the barrier. If that was the case, they would have said so. Their vagueness here is telling.
- SomewhatLikely 9y agoThe statement mentions "hands on warning" which just means you need to keep your hands on the wheel. That's very different than giving control back to the driver.
- rgbrenner 9y agoThank you.. you are correct. That’s an important detail I wrote incorrectly.
