Crash Kills Model S Driver Using Autopilot; Tesla Blames Failure To Detect Truck On ‘Rare Circumstances’

Tesla blamed ‘rare circumstances’ for the failure of the autopilot system to detect a tractor trailer crossing the road ahead of a Model S driver. But, of course, it’s exactly the ‘rare’ circumstances involved in driving a vehicle — such as unclear lane markings, blinding glare, extremely heavy rains and so on — that create the biggest concerns about the self-driving future into which the world is heading.

The Best Media Streamer Just Got A Whole Lot Better

I’ve written about the NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV device  couple of occasions. For the uninitiated, it is NVIDIA’s Tegra X1 powered set top box and gaming device that was the first to be Netflix 4K certified. Its high performance and excellent software and slick design language all work well together to produce, what I believe, is the premiere media streaming device available today. On top of its excellent multimedia chops, the SHIELD TV is also able to stream AAA games from NVIDIA’s GeForce Now service or from a GeForce GTX-equipped PC on the same network. All told, the SHIELD is a powerful, highly-capable device.
