An Apple engineer who died when his Tesla Model X slammed into a concrete barrier had previously complained about the SUV malfunctioning on that same stretch of freeway.
Elon Musk has a huge financial incentive to turn on full-service driving. But is Tesla anywhere close to ready?
Autopilot is a partially automated system designed to keep a vehicle in its lane and keep a safe distance from vehicles in front of it. It also can change lanes with driver approval. Tesla says Autopilot is intended to be used for driver assistance and that drivers must be ready to intervene at all times.
A report from the agency says Caltrans failed to fix the barrier that was damaged in a crash 11 days before Huang was killed. In that incident, a 2010 Toyota Prius traveling over 75 mph crashed against the attenuator, a cushion that protects vehicles from hitting the end of concrete lane dividers.
