The Friday, July 29, 2016, an article in Reuters about the May 7th Tesla self-driving car crash points up the need, not only for good brakes but for an operator who can tell the difference between a truck and a bridge. Tesla engineers suspect that the vehicle might have “ignored” the tractor-trailer truck, thereby failing to brake. The accident led to the death of Joshua Brown when his Model S, which was using the Autopilot mode, drove under the truck. It is the first fatality involving self-driving vehicles. The NHTSA is evaluating the vehicles to see if they constitute an unreasonable risk to drivers.
