Our autonomous future depends on educating drivers

The heartbreaking headlines have become all too familiar.

“Tesla driver dies in first fatal autonomous car crash in US”

“Recent self-driving car crash shares similarities to Williston crash of 2016”

The dates and details of these incidents vary widely, but a single thread unites them all: confusion about the driver’s role with automated vehicle technology. And not only was this confusion a contributing factor in these crashes, but by infecting public officials and journalists, it also helped shape headlines that actually spread the very same confusion to new potential victims.
