Re: Really??
That was my thought when I read that quote. From what I know the circumstances were that the side of the trailer was white and blended into the bright sky - something that can also happen very easily to humans. Anyone who's drive towards a low sun (especially during Winter with wet roads) will know what it's like to be overpowered by the glare. The M40/A34 junction at Bicester was a prime example - During the Winter there was almost a daily accident until they installed the traffic lights.
This will sound awfully cold (and is no consolation to relatives), but autonomous driving will always be responsible for deaths. The question is, is it safer than us meat bags and according to Tesla (who are not exactly unbiased) it is.
