The U.S. announced Thursday the first fatality in a wreck involving a car in self-driving mode, the 40-year-old owner of a technology company who nicknamed his vehicle "Tessy" and had praised its sophisticated "Autopilot" system just one month earlier for preventing a collision on an interstate. The government said it is investigating the design and performance of the system aboard the Tesla Model S sedan.

No thank you. These should NOT be on the public road ways yet. I believe these will cause many more deaths in the future.

I have NEVER been in an accident I didn't want to be in. :wink:

I don't need or want a self driving car.

Tesla warns drivers that the auto feature isn't is a substitute for drivers staying alert for traffic hazards. The guy who died didn't pay attention to the traffic in the other lane.
