You do. You also have to touch the steering wheel every few minutes I believe. Car wouldn't have been in auto pilot.

This is like saying take all airplanes out of the air because of a crash. They are still safer than human drivers

I would bet on them finding some accelerant.
A lithium/cobalt battery pack, and probably a healthy dose of magnesium in the frame

On a positive note looks like they saved on Cremation arrangements. Joking of course . You just hope they died on impact.

Yeah, called lithium in the form of large battery packs. Retards like you don't understand how dangerous such things are and why a tank of diesel or gasoline is still safer overall.

You walk around with a lithium ion battery in your pocket all day long and are worried about safety?

Yawn the DOT EPA US Government allows autonomous cars but I can’t import a diesel Range Rover because it’s not safe???

Somebody, anybody PLEASE take these driverless cars off the road. I am for advancements in technology but this is ridiculous. What if instead of plowing into a tree the thing had hit some family in another car.
Autopilot malfunctions at a rate 8 times lower than humans. Sooo, there would be less deaths

Anyone who rides in a vehicle with nobody driving probably isn’t gonna live long.

Yeah you damn sure aren't putting out a Lithium Ion/Polymer battery fire with fricking water.
It's a chemical fire. Pretty much require a lot of sand or a Class D Fire Extinguisher

Do you sell Teslas'? So maybe you should tell that to the families of those two killed in this accident. I wonder if nanoseconds before that 'driverless car' hit that tree the guy in the front passenger seat said, "Oh sh** I'm about to be a statistic!"
Like I said, someone needs to make a law to keep these things off the road. They're unsafe. There I said it.

So do these Teslas have a habit of becoming a Roman Candle when they crash? Is it the 21st century version of the Ford Pinto?

The report is the car was going excessively over the speed limit. Autopilot won't go 5 mph over the speed limit. If I had to guess these darwin award winners floored it and lost control and hit a tree. With no seat belt on they bounced all around the inside of the car.
Probably so.
