Autopilot Black Boxes Recent crashes involving Tesla's Autopilot mode, German lawmakers are reportedly voting on requirements for recording devices in any car using an autopilot tool. These devices, more commonly known as 'black boxes' and used in airplanes, would give more information to investigators around why a crash had occurred—and if autopilot modes were to blame. Autopilot uses different tools—including radar, cameras and other sensors—to help a car steer itself, accelerate and decelerate, and make other decisions to in essence drive itself. Elon Musk, co-founder and CEO of Tesla Motors, has tweeted that "significant improvements" to its radar sensor systems may be on its way. (via Reuters)
