The 56-year-old man was arrested after activating the FSD feature on his Tesla Model S and then diverting his attention to his mobile phone, causing the vehicle to crash into a motorcycle and fatally injuring the driver at the scene.
Meanwhile, the police and NHTSA are conducting investigations using vehicle data to determine the next course of action.
Experts criticize Tesla’s semi-autonomous driving system for its limitations in processing environmental conditions through camera usage, which leads to more errors compared to Waymo’s driverless system that utilizes lidar sensors for greater accuracy, especially in various weather conditions.
