>      Joshua Brown, the Tesla driver killed last year while using
>    the semi-autonomous Autopilot mode on his Model S, received
>    several visual and audio warnings to take control of the
>    vehicle before he was killed, according to a report from the
>    National Transportation Safety Board. Despite the warnings,
>    Brown kept his hands off the wheel before colliding with a
>    truck on a Florida highway.
