Isn't the obvious question why does it also tune out huge overhead road signs which are moving from left to right across the road?
One of the recent SpaceX rockets crashed on the landing because of some basic missing logic. One of the 3 rockets wasn't able to produce the expected thrust. [1] The is an easy solution: the other 2 rockets increase thrust to compensate, but this logic didn't exist.

Not sure if your comment is meant to insinuate that Tesla is being more transparent than it needs to be. Its press release, dated June 30, refers to a fatal accident that happened on May 7. Judging by the first sentence of that press release, it seems to have been spurred because the U.S. decided to open an investigation yesterday. Tesla has had 50 days to say something and they waited until the day after they learned about the investigation.
AFAIK, accidents in which a consumer complaint is received or in which a defect in a vehicle or vehicle-part is suspected is sent to the NHTSA [1], which then decides whether or not to conduct an investigation. The NYT article makes it sound like the NHTSA has been in contact with the Florida Highway Patrol...I don't see where it says that Tesla went out of its way to tell the NHTSA (at least compared to other automakers)
Now it is gone and tagged DUPE with no related story on the front page.
