Tesla Driver Died Using Autopilot, With Hands Off Steering Wheel

Tesla Inc. affirmed the Model X driver who passed on in a horrifying accident seven days prior was utilizing Autopilot and protected the security record of its driver-help framework that is back under investigation following a casualty.

PC logs recouped from the Tesla driven by Wei Huang, 38, demonstrate he didn't have his hands on the guiding wheel for six seconds previously the game utility vehicle slammed into a parkway boundary in California and burst into flames on March 23, as indicated by a blog entry the organization distributed late Friday.

"The driver had gotten a few visual and one discernable hands-on notice prior in the drive," Tesla said in the post. The driver had "around five seconds and 150 meters of unhampered view" of the solid expressway divider and an effectively pounded crash pad that his Model X slammed into, as indicated by the organization. "Yet, the vehicle logs demonstrate that no move was made."
