Reuters poroča eno grenko o samovoznih Teslah in čudaških razvadah njihovih lastnikov. Pred skoraj dvema letoma smrtno ponesrečeni voznik Tesle X, sicer Applov programer, se je pred nesrečo večkrat pritožil, da avtopilot zavija po svoje in da je moral sam popravljati smer vožnje. A je kljub temu usodnega dne namesto volana držal telefon, na katerem je bila aktivna igra. Med človeško in umetno inteligenco očitno še vedno zija globok prepad in kdor se giblje med njima, kaj lahko pade vanj.

A Tesla driver killed in a March 2018 crash in California while using the Autopilot driver-assistance system had reported that on prior trips, the car had steered away from the highway, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) disclosed in documents made public Tuesday.
Walter Huang, a 38-year-old Apple software engineer, was driving his Tesla Model X in Mountain View in autopilot mode at about 70 mph when it crashed into a safety barrier. The NTSB said Huang had reported issues on prior trips with Autopilot steering the wheel toward an area between a highway ramp and the lane. It is a moving violation to cross into that section of the road, known as the “gore area.”
Data from the vehicle showed that in prior trips Huang had taken corrective action after Autopilot had steered toward the area. The NTSB said in the fatal crash Huang’s hands were not detected on the steering wheel in the final six seconds before the crash. There was no evidence of braking or evasive action.

During the final 18-minute Autopilot segment of the trip, the system did not detect his hands on the wheel about one-third of the time and the system issued two visual alerts for hands-off driving operation and one auditory alert.
The NTSB said Huang had been using an Apple-owned iPhone during his trip and records show evidence of data transmissions.
Logs recovered with Apple’s assistance show a word building game application “Three Kingdoms” was active during Huang’s fatal trip.
