Completed the investigation of the accident Tesla cars with autopilot functions. Company found not guilty
The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has published a full report on a fatal crash case when the driver uses the autopilot function.
The report says that the autopilot system was found not guilty in the accident that occurred. In many parts of the document, it was noted that the system was made with an emphasis on safety and on a general reduction in accidents involving Tesla machines.
In particular, the agency noted that after the introduction of the autopilot function, the total number of accidents on the road with the participation of Tesla machines fell by 40%. It was also noted that the agency did not find any errors in the design or implementation of the automatic emergency braking function. It was noted that Tesla was initially confident that the autopilot system would be used in a wider framework than specified by Tesla, and therefore such scenarios were incorporated into the design of this system before being presented to the public.
These findings are the best that Tesla could hope for from the investigation, which was conducted for more than six months. Reuters reported on Thursday that Tesla will not withdraw its cars because of this investigation.
The only comment made by inspectors is that Tesla could give a more accurate assessment of the autopilot's capabilities, but at the same time they recognize that all the necessary information is provided to drivers and car owners.

The report says that all models of automatic emergency braking help only to prevent a collision * in the ass * in front of the vehicle in front. Absolutely all of them fail the collision avoidance test on intersecting courses or when rebuilding. In particular, if you are pruned and braked sharply, the autopilot and emergency braking probably will not help.
Therefore, Tesla everywhere warns hands to be on the steering wheel, and attention on the road.
