Us auto safety agency warned Tesla car owner: dangerous! Don't test autopilot with children.

Beijing, Aug. 18 (Xinhua) US auto safety regulators issued a warning on Wednesday to Tesla owners who plan to test self-driving skills with their children: don't do this.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said it used controlled procedures to test car technology and that "anyone trying to test vehicle technology on their own can be highly dangerous". " No one should risk their own or other people's lives to test the performance of vehicle technology, "NHTSA said." consumers should never try to create their own test scenarios or use real people, especially children, to test the performance of car technology. "

NHTSA's statement is in response to recent tweets from Tesla car owners. The tweets show that Tesla's car owner asked his child to take a test of the so-called fully autonomous driving mode (FSD). There is a 10-minute video on Twitter showing the inside of a Tesla car. The car is parked on a residential street and the owner is testing autopilot mode. In the video, a child is standing in the street. The car starts moving slowly towards him and stops just before hitting the child. Prior to this, a video released by a safety engineer showed that Tesla's autopilot could not identify children and collided with child-sized models several times. After that, some people began to imitate and release relevant test videos.
