The first known Tesla Autopilot fatality occurred in May, reminding everyone that the self-driving feature does not make the car a fully autonomous vehicle.
As Tesla wrote in its blog about the accident, Autopilot is still in the public beta phase. That's why it requires drivers to pay attention and have their hands on the wheel at all times.
