NEW YORK, (APP/AFP) – US auto safety regulators are investigating the “autopilot” self-driving system on the Tesla Model S after a driver was killed while the mechanism was activated, Tesla said Thursday.
Tesla said the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration had opened a “preliminary evaluation” into the performance of Autopilot after the electric-car company notified the agency of the fatality. Tesla said it is the first known fatality with Autopilot activated.
