Authorities are yet to verify that the car was running Autopilot at the time of the crash, but the fatal incident raises questions over whether Tesla’s recent recall of two million cars went far enough to ensure that motorists using the auto drive feature pay attention to the road. The Tesla driver was arrested for investigation of vehicular homicide after he told a Washington State Patrol trooper he was using the vehicle’s Autopilot feature and looked at his cellphone while the car was moving, according to a probable-cause document obtained by the Associated Press. The Tesla driver said the car was on Autopilot and he checked his phone at the time of the incident The affidavit stated that the driver was arrested “based on the admitted inattention to driving, while on Autopilot mode, and the distraction of the cell phone while moving forward, putting trust in the machine to drive for him”.
