“NHTSA reminds the public that no commercially available motor vehicles today are capable of driving themselves,” the agency said on Monday. “Every available vehicle requires a human driver to be in control at all times, and all state laws hold human drivers responsible for the operation of their vehicles.”
In 2016, Tesla introduced new warnings for drivers after the first accident fatality occurred when the auto-pilot system was in use. And the driver is supposed to have their hands on the steering wheel at all times. If they aren’t touching the steering wheel they get an alert.
