Tragic Crash: Tesla's Self-Driving System Investigated After Deadly Motorcycle Accident.

A Tesla involved in a fatal crash in Seattle was using Tesla's \"Full Self Driving\" system. The driver told authorities he was looking at his phone and relying on the system to drive.

The driver was arrested for vehicular homicide, but it's not yet clear if the \"Full Self Driving\" system was at fault. Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, claims the system will be able to drive without human supervision by the end of the year.

Tesla offers two driving systems: \"Full Self Driving\" for city streets and \"Autopilot\" for highways. Both systems require human drivers to be ready to take control at any moment.

Musk believes the large amount of data Tesla collects on its systems will convince regulators to allow robotaxis. However, experts argue that the data is unreliable because it relies on human supervision.

Musk has delayed the unveiling of Tesla's dedicated robotaxi to make changes he wanted. He believes that self-driving technology will be a major source of growth for Tesla in the future.
