A Tesla Model 3 involved in a fatal crash with a semitrailer in Florida March 1 was operating on the company's semi-autonomous Autopilot system, federal investigators have determined. In both cases, neither the driver nor the Autopilot system stopped for the trailers, and the roofs of the cars were sheared off. Tesla also said it's saddened by the crash and that drivers have traveled more than 1 billion miles while using Autopilot. Joshua Brown, 40, of Canton, Ohio, was traveling in a Tesla Model S on a divided highway and using the Autopilot system when he was killed. In a 2017 report on the Gainesville crash, the NTSB wrote that design limitations of Autopilot played a major role.
