About two years ago, an employee ofAppledied in a fatal crash involving his Tesla vehicle. This case is not isolated: around the same period,a similar tragic event happened because of a competing model developed by Uber.
But in reality, if the modeautopilotwas indeed activated at the time, legally, the driver was also at fault. In fact, each time, he used his mobile phone instead of keeping his hands on the steering wheel, as is still recommended by manufacturers who know that their technology is not yet fully developed.
The smartphone in question!
TheUS National Transportation Safety Boards (NTSB) has just published a press release accusing the ex-employee's iPhone of being at the origin of the incident. According to the institution, its manufacturer was not clear enough by not emphasizing the importance of not using your cell phone while driving.
However, it is aloicommon to most countries and particularly in California, where the death occurred. Moreover, most drivers are already aware of this, but simply do not respect the rule established by the highest authorities in their region. In Australia,concrete measures using artificial intelligencewould, however, make it possible to remedy this.
In the end, should we really blame the iOS publisher? At the time whenCarPlayand the “Do not disturb in car” mode already exist, it is rather the risky behavior coming from consumers that would do better to be singled out.
