The future is for self driving cars that's for sure, but it is not safe for a moment. People should pay more attention to technologies that they are using, especially when she is warning you about dangerous on the road ...

Following the investigation of a fatal Tesla Model S crash, the NTSB concluded in a 500-page report that the driver, Joshua Brown, ignored repeated "Autopilot" warnings to keep his hands on the wheel. "For the vast majority of the trip, the Autopilot hands-on state remained at 'hands required, not detected,' " the report states. Specifically, Brown was supposed to have his hands on the wheel for a 37-minute portion of the trip, and did so for just 25 seconds.

I didn't know Tesla made convertibles.

Thanks for shedding some light on this AI incident. Too bad, we won't know why the driver failed to understand the repeated warnings.
