MEANWHILE, ELON MUSK'S TESLA AUTO PILOT FAILS TO NOTE A TRUCK ON THE ROAD IN FRONT OF IT, DRIVER DIES
Elon Musk for months of tries as much as possible to promote Tesla's autopilot, but the last event in Florida could make it go back to the beginning. In fact, only now has leaked information that on the May 7 it caused accident that killed Joshua Brown (40) as the car drove on the autopilot.
Brown was relaxing while Tesla alone was racing on the highway, but in the middle of the white day it's sensors did not register a giant driving in front of it - a truck!
- Model S failed to recognize the white side of trucks and trailer in relation to the brightness of the sky - it says in the report from Tesla Motors, and added that the event is extremely tragic.
- Our vehicles controlled autopilot so far have crossed almost 210 million kilometers without a single problem.
A truck driver Frank Baressi (62) of the accident emerged unscathed.

He was completely fascinated by Tesla cars and on Youtube he often published images of driving while using the autopilot. He was noted to celebrate and record where the car on autopilot has avoided a collision thanks to this technology.
