Tesla was in Full Self-Driving mode when it hit and killed Seattle motorcylist, police say

Quick Summary:

SAN FRANCISCO : A Tesla Model S car was in "Full Self-Driving" mode when it hit and killed a 28-year-old motorcyclist in the Seattle area in April, police said, making it at least the second accident involving the technology on which Tesla CEO Elon Musk is pinning his hopes.

He said a future vehicle will be like a "tiny mobile lounge" where drivers will be able to watch movies, play video games, work and even drink and sleep.

Tesla was forced to recall nearly all its vehicles on U.S.roads over a lack of safeguards.
