Musk: Olycksbils autopilot var inte aktiverad
Den Tesla-bil som var inblandad i en dödskrasch i Texas helgen hade inte autopiloten aktiverad. Det visar dataloggar från olycksbilen, twittrar Tesla-grundaren Elon Musk.
Den aktuella bilen var heller inte utrustad med dator för total självkörningsförmåga (FSD), fortsätter han.
”Dessutom skulle standard-autopiloten kräva körfält för att slå på, vilket den här gatan inte hade”, skriver Musk.
Teslas aktie backade som mest drygt 6 procent på Wall Street på måndagen efter helgens olycka.

Tesla Autopilot is a suite of advanced driver-assistance system features offered by Tesla that has lane centering, traffic-aware cruise control, self-parking, automatic lane changes, semi-autonomous navigation on limited access freeways, and the ability to summon the car from a garage or parking spot. In all of these features, the driver is responsible and the car requires constant supervision. The company claims the features reduce accidents caused by driver negligence and fatigue from long-term driving. In October 2020, Consumer Reports called Tesla Autopilot "a distant second" (behind Cadillac's Super Cruise), although it was ranked first in the "Capabilities and Performance" and "Ease of Use" category.As an upgrade to the base Autopilot capabilities, the company's stated intent is to offer full self-driving (FSD) at a future time, acknowledging that legal, regulatory, and technical hurdles must be overcome to achieve this goal. As of April 2020, most experts believe that Tesla vehicles lack the necessary hardware for full self-driving. Tesla was ranked last by Navigant Research in March 2020 for both strategy and execution in the autonomous driving sector. In October 2020 Tesla released a "beta" version of its FSD software to a small group of testers in the United States. Many industry observers criticized Tesla's decision to use untrained consumers to validate the beta software as dangerous and irresponsible.
