The driver of a car that crashed and killed two people will be tried for manslaughter in Los Angeles. The fatal accident occurred in Los Angeles when a man driving a car at 74 mph was killed. The driver of the car will go on trial. The driver is facing a court trial for using semi-automated technology in a fatal crash. The report said that Gilberto Alcazar Lopez, 40, and Maria Guadalupe Nieves-Lopez, 39, were killed in the crash.
The driver of the car that crashed into the Honda was using the autopilot features on his car.
Crash data showed that no brakes were used six minutes before the collision. The driver being tried for manslaughter had a hand on the steering wheel, according to an engineer who testified.
According to a Fox 11 LA report, the driver will be tried on two counts of vehicular manslaughter.
The first self-driving death was recorded in 2016 and a number of car crashes have been recorded.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is looking into a dozen crashes that involved drivers of the electric car company using its autopilot features.
The company says on its website that it does not make the car autonomously, and that it is intended for fully attentive drivers.
