Following
two confirmed Tesla Autopilot-related crashes in the U.S., including a
fatality,
German lawmakers are planning legislation that would
require carmakers to include a
black box for cars.
More commonly associated with aircraft, the proposed
black box would record when an
auto**mous system was engaged, when the car asked the driver to retake driving duties and when a human driver took control or **t, according to

auto**mous car crash.
