Driver dies in first U S Autopilot crash in Florida
Joshua D. Brown of Canton Ohio, 40, the Tesla Model S owner who praised Autopilot, died May 7 in Williston Florida when his car failed to distinguish a bright sky from a turning tractor trailer and did not brake. The incident prompted an NHTSA probe and Tesla statements about Autopilot limits and driver responsibility. Brown had earlier credited his car with avoiding a crash and served in the Navy SEALs.
