Previously post this, but given the recent news, it maybe why NHTSA is probing Teslas previous 2m vehicle recall.

Tesla driver on Autopilot caused fatal Highway 522 crash, police say
The driver was reportedly on his phone with his Tesla on Autopilot on Friday when he crashed into Jeffrey Nissen, killing him.

A Tesla driver who had set his car on Autopilot was “distracted” by his phone before reportedly hitting and killing a motorcyclist Friday on Highway 522, according to a new police report.

Around 3:45 p.m., a Snohomish man in a 2022 Tesla Model S was driving home behind a motorcyclist at Fales Road in Maltby, according to the report.

The man, 56, had activated Tesla’s Autopilot feature. He was using his phone when he heard a bang as his car lurched forward and crashed into the motorcycle in front of him, troopers wrote.

Although honestly NHTSA should be looking into the safety of autopilot because it failed to recognize there was a motorcycle in front of it.
