Tesla driver killed after plowing into firetruck on freeway

I have a feeling these type of articles are never going to end. Anytime a Tesla is involved in a crash, it’s always going to be a question if Self driving mode was on. Whether it was on or not is a moot point in my opinion. As a driver, if you slam your car into into another vehicle or object, the responsibility is 100% on you. We have to stop blaming technology for wrecks. If you have a Tesla (or other vehicle with advanced cruise control) and wreck while it’s activated, it’s not the tech’s fault. The driver <i>has</i> to be paying attention to everything regardless, and if they don’t then get mad at them, not the car maker.

<i>At least 14 Teslas have crashed into emergency vehicles while using the system.</i><p>Seems like quite a lot?

Cheap driver assistance technologies such as collision warning systems and emergency braking are nearly ubiquitous on new cars. It’s puzzling why Tesla hasn’t taken a layered approach to safety, with these supplementing the camera systems they have in place. I can’t imagine it’s a cost thing and the sensor fusion problem is likely tractable.
