Tesla Autopilot was engaged during ill-fated Model 3 crash in FL, says NTSB
A report from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has stated that Tesla’s Autopilot driver-assist system was engaged during a fatal Model 3 crash in Delray Beach, FL last March. Released on Thursday, the NTSB’s report stated that the Model 3’s driver had engaged Autopilot about 10 seconds before the vehicle crashed into a semitrailer.
The driver of the ill-fated Model 3 was traveling about 68 mph on a highway with a 55 mph speed limit, according to the report’s findings. The NTSB further noted that neither the vehicle’s driver nor Autopilot was able to perform any evasive maneuvers in the seconds leading up to the impact.
Tesla requires drivers to constantly put pressure on the steering wheel when Autopilot is engaged, emphasizing that the driver-assist feature is not a full self-driving system. Tesla has also issued constant reminders urging drivers to stay alert and be ready to take over their vehicles at any time. Nevertheless, Reuters notes that some Tesla owners have pointed out that they are able to avoid putting their hands on their vehicles’ steering wheel for extended periods of time while Autopilot is engaged.
Tesla is yet to issue a comment on the NTSB’s report.
