Comma's hands-off driving system investigated after two fatal crashes

Original: Comma's hands-off driving tech under investigation after 2 fatal crashes

US regulators have opened an investigation into Comma, the startup behind a hands-off driver-assistance system that runs on consumer hardware, following two fatal crashes involving vehicles using the technology. The probe will examine how the system performs in real-world driving and whether its safeguards are adequate. The story is drawing attention as regulators scrutinise driver-assistance products more broadly, with critics arguing such systems blur the line between assistance and autonomy.

Why now: A safety investigation into a widely discussed driver-assistance startup raises fresh concerns about hands-off driving technology.
