Subject: Many to blame in fatal crash of a Tesla (Tom Krisher via PGN)
Tom Krisher, SFChronicle.com (which as usual ignores the existence of the
Science Fiction Chronicle), front page of the Chron's Business Report, 21
Mar 2020, PGN-ed
As we have noted in many cases (including Deepwater Horizon RISKS-29.49,
the Boeing 737 Max, and many others), attempts to place blame are often
frustrated by reality: blame may be widely distributed.
The cited article by Tom Krisher notes the National Transportation Safety
Board (NTSB) report released on 19 Mar 2020 on the Tesla crash on 1 March
2019 in Delray Beach, Florida. The Tesla was under Autopilot driving at 69
mph when the Autopilot neither braked or otherwise attempted to avoid a
tractor-trailer that crossed in its path.
The report noted that all of the following factors were relevant:
* The driver of the Tesla for not paying attention. He had turned the
Autopilot on just 12.3 seconds before impact. Autosteer (which keeps the
car centered in its lane) turned on 2.4 seconds later.
* The driver (who was not injured) of the tractor-trailer, which sheared off
the roof of the Tesla
* Tesla, because it allowed the driver to avoid paying attention to the
Autopilot, and to limit where it was safe to use the Autopilot, activating
it in conditions for which it was not designed. (However, Tesla told the
NTSB investigators that ``forward collision warning and automatic
emergency braking systems on Model 3 in the Delray cash weren't designed
to activate for crossing traffic or to prevent crashes at high speeds.''
Tesla also had noted that the driver wasn't warned about not having his
hands on the wheel ``because the approximate 6-second duration was too
short to trigger a warning under the circumstances.'' However, Tesla also
claims that ``the Autopilot is a driver-assist system, and that drivers
must be ready to intervene at all times.''
* The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for its lax
regulations, and failing to put limits on the use of automated driving
systems to just those cases in which they were designed to work
A statement for the NTSB chairman Robert Sumwalt noted this was the ``third
fatal vehicle crash we have investigated where a driver's overreliance on
Tesla's Autopilot and the operational design of the Tesla's Autopilot have
led to tragic consequences.''
Krisher notes that the Delray Beach crash was remarkably similar to one in
Williston FL in 2016, which also killed the driver of a Tesla.
