49ers coach says his Tesla was on Autopilot when he crashed

旧金山 49 人队主教练称其特斯拉在发生车祸时处于自动驾驶状态

Four weeks ago, San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan was involved in an accident near downtown Palo Alto. At the time Shanahan said only that the accident was his fault. But during a recent press conference he shared more details about the incident, including the fact that he had his Tesla’s Autopilot engaged at the time. Shanahan was not passing the buck, however, saying it was his fault regardless of whether or not Autopilot was engaged.

四周前，旧金山 49 人队（San Francisco 49ers）主教练凯尔·沙纳汉（Kyle Shanahan）在帕洛阿尔托市中心附近发生了一起车祸。当时沙纳汉仅表示事故是他的责任。但在最近的一次新闻发布会上，他分享了更多关于事故的细节，其中包括事故发生时他开启了特斯拉的自动驾驶（Autopilot）功能。不过，沙纳汉并没有推卸责任，他表示无论自动驾驶是否开启，这都是他的错。

“I’ve had Autopilot for nine years, so I’m pretty comfortable with it and, you know, who knows what happened when I turned around? Whether it malfunctioned or whether I knocked it off? That’s something I don’t know yet. But regardless, that’s… it is always your fault, whether you’re on Autopilot or not. You can’t take your eyes off the road. It’s a partnership driving, you don’t just turn it over to a computer.”

“我使用自动驾驶功能已经九年了，所以我对它相当熟悉。你知道的，谁知道我回头时发生了什么？是它出了故障，还是我不小心关掉了它？这些我目前还不清楚。但无论如何……无论你是否开启自动驾驶，这始终是你的责任。你不能把视线从道路上移开。这是一种协作驾驶，你不能仅仅把它完全交给电脑。”

Over the years Tesla’s Autopilot has been linked to hundreds of crashes and dozens of deaths, some of which have resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars in legal settlements.

多年来，特斯拉的自动驾驶功能已与数百起车祸和数十起死亡事故有关，其中一些事故已导致数亿美元的法律和解赔偿。
