Slay raps for Autopiloter

Kenneth Garger, Wires

A Tesla driver involved in a fatal wreck while using Autopilot has been charged with two counts of vehicular manslaughter.

The charges against limousine-service driver Kevin George Aziz Riad, 27, represent the first felony raps in the United States for a deadly crash involving Tesla’s partially automated driving system, The Associated Press reported.

Riad was allegedly behind the wheel of a Tesla Model S that careened off a freeway in Los Angeles, blew a red light and struck a Honda Civic in December 2019, killing Gilberto Alcazar Lopez and Maria Guadalupe Nieves-Lopez.
