Well, it wasn't really "fixed" -- the driver is still dead.

  Sure, if you construe the meaning of 'fixed' to mean 'roll back all events and time', which I don't think anyone expects. They probably fixed the software bug.

    I think that it's important to note that "we'll fix bugs via live patches" is a deadly decision when it comes to self driving software. Just discussing the incident in terms of a "software bug" does a disservice to the severity of the issue.

      No, it does not. While I agree that testing patches on users with no testing beforehand is horrible, 1) I doubt Tesla does this, and 2) the person died before they fixed it, which GP seemed to be confused about.

      Remember, autopilot and autosteer are not self-driving. Tesla is very explicit that the driver must remain alert, and supervise, at all times. That being said, drowsy driving is a thing, and it's very easy to fall asleep behind the wheel. The car really needs a better strategy to handle this situation.

        Tesla's legal department is very explicit, the marketing department? Not so much...
