The Fauquier County Sheriff's Office provided more details on the accident, saying that the tractor trailer attempted to turn onto a highway from a truck stop when the Tesla struck the side and slid underneath the trailer. The Tesla driver was pronounced dead at the scene. As for the truck driver, authorities issued a summons for reckless driving.<\/p>\n

The summons indicates that authorities blame the truck\u2019s driver for the incident, but Tesla\u2019s assistance program is supposed to account for mistakes stemming from other people on the road, thus the NHTSA investigation. To that end, the safety regulator has opened more than three dozen investigations<\/ins><\/a> into crashes involving Tesla vehicles and their advanced assistance algorithms. All told, the agency suspects the system has been involved<\/ins><\/a> in 23 deaths since 2016.<\/p>\n

In 2021, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) urged the NHTSA to issue stricter regulations<\/ins><\/a> for autonomous driving, stating in its letter that \u201cTesla is testing on public roads a highly automated AV technology but with limited oversight or reporting requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tesla\u2019s proprietary Autopilot technology is intended to steer, accelerate and brake within the vehicle\u2019s lane, while an enhanced system assists with changing lanes on highways. Tesla says the system isn\u2019t truly automated and requires active human supervision. The company hasn\u2019t responded to a request for comment by Reuters<\/em> regarding this latest accident and the newly-opened probe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
