Safety Tales: Autopilot

- Good morning, Johann!
- Good day, Mr. Commissioner!
— We need your help. As you know, not long ago there was a terrible accident on the highway. Hockey player Joe Born died in his "smart" car. His family sued the car manufacturer, claiming that the cause of the accident was the incorrect behavior of the autopilot. The company, in turn, said that its autopilot was not to blame. We were asked to conduct an independent examination. But since we do not have specialists, we decided to turn to you.
- Good. I ask that the autopilot, the on-board computer and the "black box" be delivered to us. Naturally, the commission for conducting the examination should include representatives of both the manufacturer and the police or, even better, the insurance company in which the hockey player was insured.
- Undoubtedly.
- Mr. Commissioner, the case turned out to be really interesting.
- So what? Is the company to blame?
— No. Joe Born himself is to blame. He turned on the singapore whatsapp data and was watching a feature film. The autopilot asked him three times to take control due to the complicated traffic situation. However, Joe took control once and only for 30 seconds. As a result, an accident occurred.
- So what now? What can we tell the press?
— Yes, the fact is that, sitting behind the wheel of a car, even a “smart” one equipped with an autopilot, the driver must understand his responsibility for his life! You can’t drive, pick your nose, watch a movie and chat on the phone at the same time. In the end, no matter how “smart” the autopilot is, you still need to think about your health yourself!!!
You must take care of yourself. And examples of accidents due to careless drivers have long been common. Back in 2008, the culprit of a major train accident in the suburbs of Los Angeles was recognized as the driver of the Metrolink company Robert Sanchez, who was texting while driving.
