It is not short of abilities, though. In its investigation of a nonfatal crash between a Tesla and a parked fire truck, the NTSB again criticizes Autopilot, saying that Teslas design makes it too easy for drivers to mentally disengage from the task of driving. While the subsequent aim was to produce a system design to aid commercialization, the program was cancelled in the late 1990s due to tightening research budgets at USDOT. This is because Tesla's self-driving cars can navigate traffic more efficiently than humans. Photo: Consumer Reports, Tesla begins deliveries of its new Model S sedan to customers. Extensive systems engineering work and research culminated in Demo '97 on I-15 in San Diego, California, in which about 20 automated vehicles, including cars, buses, and trucks, were demonstrated to thousands of onlookers, attracting extensive media coverage. Tesla paid a $20 million fine. The First Self-Driving Cars Just over a decade ago, the idea of being chauffeured around by a string of zeros and ones was ludicrous to pretty much everybody who wasn't at an abandoned Air.
