    TESLA Motors came under renewed questioning about the safety of its autopilot technology after news emerged on Wednesday of a fatal crash in China that may have occurred while the automated driver-assist system was operating.

    The crash took place on Jan 20 and killed Gao Yaning, 23, when the Tesla Model S that he was driving slammed into a road sweeper on a highway near Handan, a city about 483 km south of Beijing, according to a report broadcast on Wednesday by Chinese government news channel CCTV.
