Tesla is considering whether the radar and camera input for the vehicle’s automatic emergency braking system failed to detect the truck trailer or the automatic braking system’s radar may have detected the trailer but discounted this input as part of a design to “tune out” structures such as bridges to avoid triggering false braking, the source said.
Tesla considers two theories for autopilot crash
This statement pretty much proves that these vehicles do not belong on public streets for now. If such an failure is even a possibility, then they have to stay on guarded territory. The general public can’t be the guinea pig for their commercial interests.
And all the Tesla groupies blaming the drivers can really just shut up. If a car drives itself, you can watch as hard as you like – there will always be a delay between the point when you realize it is failing and intervening. Even at moderate speeds this is all it needs.

I don’t know if I’d want to be a software developer at Tesla. At my job, if there’s a bug in the software I write a user might lose 20 minutes of work, not lose their life. Those are pretty high stakes.
