The US Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a new survey on Thursday saying that since the Autopilot-related feature was first installed on Tesla, the system has reduced Tesla's crash rate by 40%. At the same time, the US Highway Safety Administration also said in the report that Autopilot did not fail in a fatal car accident in May last year, and said that the system still needs the driver to concentrate on the open state.
The US Highway Safety Administration issued the report after a six-month investigation into a fatal car accident in Tesla last May. The investigation revealed that the US Highway Safety Administration did not find that Tesla's Autopilot system had security flaws and therefore did not require Tesla to issue a related product recall order.
The US Highway Safety Administration pointed out in the report that since the installation of the Autosteer function by Tesla Motors in 2015, the crash rate of Tesla has dropped by about 40%. Autosteer is the flagship feature of the Autopilot system, which allows the Tesla car to remain in its own lane, allowing the car to turn itself even in the event of a curve.
Tesla provided data on all mileage and airbags for vehicles such as Model S and Model X equipped with Autopilot technology between 2014 and 2016 to the Office of Defects InvesTIgaTIon under the US National Highway Safety Administration. . The investigators used these data to calculate the crash rate before and after the installation of the Autopilot system, which led to the above conclusions.
Although a fatal car accident last May caused the Tesla Autopilot system to undergo a rigorous investigation in the past few months, the latest report from the US Highway Safety Administration is undoubtedly good news for the system. In May of last year, 40-year-old Joshua Brown drove the Tesla Model S on the US Highway 27 in Levi County, Florida, when the car opened. Autopilot autopilot function. At that time, a large truck turned left at the crossroads. Brown's Tesla car hit the side of the big truck and passed through the bottom of the trailer. The roof was directly overturned. Brown on the driver's seat. Die on the spot.
After the fatal car accident, Tesla explained through a blog that the Autopilot system could not detect the reflection of the white side of the trailer in the daytime glare, causing the camera to be "blind" for a short time, so the brake function in the automatic driving mode. Failure to start urgently.
According to the latest report of the US Highway Safety Administration, Tesla's Autopilot does not have the drawback of causing the above-mentioned fatal car accident. The report also pointed out that when encountering traffic intersections, people should not rely too much on Autopilot to detect the corresponding road conditions, and there is sufficient time (up to 7 seconds) to brake on the driver before the driver hits the truck.
Although the investigation by the US Highway Safety Administration ended and it reached a favorable conclusion for Tesla, the US NaTIonal TransportaTIon Safety Board's investigation into the matter is still in progress.
