Sen. Markey Recommends Tesla Build Backup Autopilot Monitoring, Rebrand

Tesla should build backup driver monitoring tools to ensure autopilot drivers don’t fall asleep, Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., wrote Friday. He recommended the automaker rebrand and remarket its autopilot system to “make it clear from the beginning that its driver assistance system is not fully autonomous and cannot replace drivers." The company didn’t comment.
