However, all authorities are in the process of determining whether the car is operating with the Autopilot, which assists the driver, or with the “Full Self-Driving Capability” system of total autonomy.
One of the men was found in the care of the copilot and the other staff in the care of the driver, said Herman to The Associated Press.
The NHTSA says it is working with local authorities to know more about the details of the accident.
Tesla has serious problems with its autopilot semi-automated system, which has been involved in several fatal shocks that have not been detected, emergency vehicles detained or a barrier in the carriageway. The National Security Council in the United States Transport (NTSB, for its sailings in English) recommends that the NHTSA and Tesla limit the carriages that the Autopilot can operate safely, and that the company installs a robust system for conductors ensure that it is performing attention. Pero and Tesla and the regulatory agency tomaron medidas.
Tesla did not comment on the NTSHA announcement today. The company said in the past that the drivers used by Autopilot should be listed to intervene at any time and that the “Full Self-Driving Capability” system should also be monitored continuously by the conductors.
