The man killed (http://mashable.com/2017/01/19/tesla-investigation-details/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) in a Tesla Model S crash in May 2016 wasn't heeding Tesla's security advice despite being warned by the car numerous times, an in-depth investigation has shown.*

Former Navy SEAL and Tesla enthusiast Joshua Brown was driving on the highway near Williston, Florida, when his Model S hit the side of a tractor trailer without braking.*

A 538-page report (https://dms.ntsb.gov/pubdms/search/hitlist.cfm?docketID=59989&CurrentPage=3&EndRow=40&StartRow=31&order=1&sort=0&TXTSEARCHT=) by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), published online late last week, has concluded that Brown didn't have his hands on the wheel while the car was in autopilot mode, a requirement from Tesla.*
