Description

Last week, a Tesla Model S crashed into a tree in a neighborhood north of Houston. Both men inside the car were killed. But according to police, neither of them was in the driver’s seat. 

This is not the first crash in which Tesla’s “autopilot” feature has likely played a role. Should we really be trusting this technology?
