Tesla driver in multi-car crash told police self-driving software malfunctioned
Summary
The Thanksgiving Day crash on Interstate-80 near Treasure Island resulted in two juveniles being transported to a local hospital for treatment of minor injuries and led to lengthy delays on the bridge. Chief Executive Elon Musk has touted Tesla "Full Self-Driving" software as a potential cash cow for the worlds biggest electric carmaker. But Teslas advanced driver assistance systems - and Musks claims about them - face growing legal, regulatory and public scrutiny. That complements its standard "Autopilot" feature, which enables cars to steer, accelerate and brake within their lanes without driver intervention. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which has been investigating the automakers advanced driver assistance systems, did not comment.
