NTSB statement
When a Tesla car accident occurred in 2018, Walter Huang was there to play the game on your iPhone. He ignored the road and may not have had his hands on the steering wheel because the car was in autopilot mode.
It's a car with partial automation, it's not a completely autonomous car. So if you put Tesla in autopilot mode, you should always pay attention. You can't sleep, read a book, watch a movie or, yes, use an iPh one.
Robert Sumwalt, an NTSB member, criticized Apple for not having a policy that prevents its employees from using the iPhone while driving:
“Let me go back to the topic of distracted drivers – one involving staff participation. Employees play an important role in combating distraction from driving. At the NTSB, we believe we must be an example to follow. More than a decade ago, my colleague Debbie Hersman implemented a comprehensive policy that prohibits the use of personal devices while driving. Those policies save lives. ”
