A GOOD EXPLANATION OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE 2016 TESLA “AUTO-PILOT” CRASH

If you don’t follow the news on driverless cars like I do, you may not have heard about, or you may have forgotten about, a fatal auto accident in Florida last year involving a Tesla vehicle that was supposedly on “auto pilot.”  A report on that accident has been released that essentially says that the vehicle wasn’t on “auto-pilot” and was in fact being grossly misused by its driver.  The Antiplanner lays out the details, and along the way gives a good overview of what the different levels of autonomous cars can do.
