A social media post by the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office in Nevada makes an almost immediate claim that Tesla Semi design failure is responsible for death.

…statements obtained at the scene suggest the driver of the semi may have fallen asleep.

The 10-ton Tesla robot ignored a red light and hit two cars, destroying one and killing the two people inside. AEB has been mandatory in the EU for a decade for large trucks, whereas in America it’s still optional. It’s not clear yet whether it failed or was missing on this Tesla, which two weeks before the crash was promoting autonomous capabilities.
