The NTSB called for Tesla, regulators and others to improve the safety of automated driving technologies. The recommendations follow an investigation into a fatal crash of a distracted Tesla driver who was using the company's Autopilot system 2 years ago.
Walter Huang had a game active on his smartphone when his Tesla Model X crashed into a highway barrier in Mountain View, California, in March 2018, NTSB investigators found. At the time, Huang was using Autopilot, Tesla's partial self-driving system which features cruise control and lanekeeping assistance technology. He did not brake or steer away from the barrier.
Robert Molloy, a director of highway safety at NTSB, and other officials at the agency, also criticized the US Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for failing to regulate partial autonomous driving systems, such as Tesla's Autopilot. It called for more thorough testing of these systems to ensure they're safe.
