At 4:36 p.m. eastern daylight time on Saturday, May 7, 2016, a 2015 Tesla Model S 70D car, traveling eastbound on US Highway 27A (US-27A), west of Williston, Florida, struck a refrigerated semitrailer powered by a 2014 Freightliner Cascadia truck-tractor. At the time of the collision, the truck was making a left turn from westbound US-27A across the two eastbound travel lanes onto NE 140th Court, a local paved road. The car struck the right side of the semitrailer, crossed underneath it, and then went off the right roadside at a shallow angle. The impact with the underside of the semitrailer sheared off the roof of the car. After leaving the roadway, the car continued through a drainage culvert and two wire fences. It then struck and broke a utility pole, rotated counterclockwise, and came to rest perpendicular to the highway in the front yard of a private residence. Meanwhile, the truck continued across the intersection and came to a stop on NE 140th Court, south of a retail business located on the intersection corner. The driver and sole occupant of the car died in the crash; the commercial truck driver was not injured. System performance data downloaded from the car indicated that the driver was operating it using the Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer lane-keeping systems, which are automated vehicle control systems within Tesla’s Autopilot suite. The crash investigation focused on the following safety issues: operational design domains for SAE International Level 2 vehicle automation, surrogate means of determining the automated vehicle driver’s degree of engagement, event data recorders for automated vehicles, safety metrics and exposure data for automated vehicles, and connected vehicle technology and vehicle-to-vehicle requirements. The NTSB made safety recommendations to the US Department of Transportation, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), manufacturers of vehicles equipped with Level 2 vehicle automation systems, the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, and the Association of Global Automakers. The NTSB also reiterated safety recommendations to NHTSA.
