Just a Bit More - Tesla Crash

One cannot read about driverless vehicles without coming across tons - and I mean tons - of written pieces about the fatal Tesla crash. I am mainly staying away from this topic, except to distribute links to some insightful articles and what I consider significant news. 

Fatal crash wakes up safety agency

NTSB - or the US National Transportation Safety Board - has determined that the inquiry by the more car-company-friendly NHTSA into the fatal crash that killed Joshua Brown will not be sufficient. NTSB, often seen as more objective (though without any regulatory authority), will conduct its own investigation into the crash. 

Good articles

• Nice recitation of facts known soon after announcement of the crash - Includes information about the Florida Highway Patrol investigation.
• Implications of NTSB's Tesla crash investigation.
• Tesla-interested blogger examines NTSB perspective. (Warning: Some repetition of old news and expert commentary.)

In my mind, dual federal inquiries - plus the Florida investigation - will do a lot to keep NHTSA more objective because it will not wish to be viewed as less than thorough in its fact-finding and analysis.
