BOISE and NAMPA, Idaho. Even as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigates the recent Tesla crash in which a car’s autopilot may be to blame, Tesla continues to make announcements about the future of the auto industry and the self-driving car. The crash, which took place in Florida, in which the car’s autopilot was engaged, is being called the first documented death involving a self-driving car. However, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is still undergoing an investigation into the technology and it is unclear why the accident took place. Fortune notes that Tesla has no current plans to disable the autopilot systems in its car models. In fact, Tesla has recently announced that it plans to put electric trucks, and self-driving tractor trailers on the road.

BOISE and NAMPA, Idaho. The Centers for Disease Control recently compared car accident crash deaths in the U.S. with crash death rates in 19 other countries. The CDC found that the U.S. has more crash deaths for every 100,000 people, putting the U.S. in the lead among world crash deaths. While the U.S. crash death rate lowered between 2000 and 2013, other comparison countries saw significant reductions in crash death rates. For instance, while the crash death rate in the U.S. went down by 31%, the average reduction in crash death rates in comparison countries was 56%. In fact, the study found that if the U.S. could reduce its car accident death rates to that of the comparison countries, 18,000 lives could have been saved. According to CNN, in 2013, approximately 23,000 people died in car crashes. These numbers don’t begin to account for those who were injured.
