00:00A deadly Tesla crash is reigniting concerns about self-driving tech.
00:05In Texas, an elderly woman was killed after a Tesla crashed into her home at high speed.
00:11The driver told police the system was running on autopilot. Investigators say he showed no signs of
00:16intoxication. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been investigating Tesla's
00:22driver assistance systems for years. Officials warn the system may have trouble in poor visibility
00:27and sometimes doesn't warn drivers quickly enough. Tesla's full self-driving isn't actually
00:33fully autonomous. It's still a driver assistance system, meaning the human driver must always stay
00:39in control. Despite the recent accident, the NHTSA reports that automated technologies have the
00:45potential to make driving safer, reducing human error and the resulting crashes, injuries and costs.
