Autonomous Trucks
A man behind the wheel of a Tesla who ended up in a fatal crash had previously posted videos and images of himself in the moving car without his hands on the wheel or his foot on the pedal while in autopilot mode. California authorities have said that the car may have been using autopilot when it crashed. The incident took place on 5 May in Fontana, a city 50 miles east of LA, and is being investigated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Steven Michael Hendrickson, 35, died when his Tesla Model 3 hit an overturned semi on the freeway at around 2.30am. An Apple engineer died when his Tesla hit a highway barrier in 2018 in Mountain View, near San Francisco in northern California.
