A FRESH version of Autopilot software that Tesla Motors Inc unveiled on Sunday emphasises radar over cameras to guide semi-autonomous cars and potentially could have saved the life of a driver in May, chief executive officer Elon Musk said.
Tesla has been under fire since Joshua Brown, a former Navy SEAL, was killed when his all-electric Tesla Model S sedan drove under a semi trailer that was crossing a Florida highway. There's no evidence that either Mr Brown or the Autopilot system noticed the white side of the tractor trailer against a bright sky and the brakes were never applied.
