Are autonomous cars safe? Fatal accident reignites debate
A fatal crash in Texas involving a Tesla Model 3 is under investigation by U.S. federal agencies. The driver claimed a driver-assistance system was active before the vehicle struck a house and killed a 76-year-old woman. Data shows a rise in autonomous system incident reports, mostly low-speed collisions, while Brazil still prohibits fully driverless cars.
