Washington, DC (CNN) Tesla appears to be changing its tune on whether drivers using Autopilot should be monitored with an in-car camera to make sure they're attentive and safe. There have been several high-profile fatal crashes in which Tesla owners using Autopilot seemed to not be paying sufficient attention to the road. Tesla competitors such as GM and Ford use in-car cameras for driver monitoring of their driver assist systems. Tesla's software update that includes the driver monitoring system does not appear to be widely distributed so far. But reports and statements from Musk have indicated a staunch resistance to driver monitoring systems in the past.
