"content": "\u003cp>Tesla is now accepting deposits for its new solar roof system, offering an \"infinity\" warranty for tiles that integrate solar power into roof coverings. Installations will begin in June, the company says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Resembling normal roofing shingles, the solar tiles will be offered in a variety of styles, from slate and terra cotta to smooth or textured dark gray. \u003ca href=\"https://www.tesla.com/solarroof\">On its website\u003c/a>, Tesla is taking $1,000 deposits toward work that includes removing a house's existing roof, installing the solar tiles and equipping the home with a battery to store power.\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Potential customers can use the company's online tool to estimate the solar roof's costs and savings, based on their roof's square footage. The results, which draw on Google's \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/get/sunroof\">Project Sunroof\u003c/a>, vary according to energy costs and other factors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The solar roof tiles are made of quartz glass. But not all tiles on a house with the system will be actively gathering the sun's energy. Tesla's plan calls for mixing solar and nonsolar tiles. From the street, the company says, the two look identical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a two-story house in Raleigh, N.C., with 2,467 square feet — the median size of a new, single-family home in the U.S., according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/construction/chars/pdf/c25ann2015.pdf\">recent Census Bureau data\u003c/a> — the upfront cost of replacing a roof with the solar tile system comes to $46,400, according to Tesla's online tool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A federal tax credit drops that amount by nearly $14,000, but Tesla's Powerwall battery adds a $7,000 expense. With 60 percent solar coverage on the roof, the system would generate $38,100 worth of energy over 30 years, according to the estimate, leaving the homeowner with a net cost of $1,400. Depending on the local energy market, a similar home in another area could generate a profit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \"infinity\" warranty covers the glass in the tiles, Tesla says.

Tesla says the cameras on his Model S sedan failed to distinguish the white side of a turning tractor-trailer from a brightly lit sky and didn't automatically brake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[Tesla has also said that data recovered from the vehicle indicate its driver, Joshua Brown, failed to brake or use other controls before the collision. The truck driver involved in the crash \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jul/01/tesla-driver-killed-autopilot-self-driving-car-harry-potter\" target=\"_blank\">told the AP afterward\u003c/a> that after the crash, a movie could be heard playing in Brown's Tesla.]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The traffic safety administration's letter gives Tesla until Aug. 26 to fully comply with its request.

The information request is a routine step in an investigation into the crash, spokesman Bryan Thomas said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigation could have broad implications for the auto industry and its steps toward self-driving cars. If the NHTSA probe finds defects with Tesla's system, the agency could seek a recall. Other automakers have or are developing similar systems that may need to be changed as a result of the probe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla's system uses cameras, radar and computers to detect objects and automatically brake its vehicles if they're about to hit something.

Nonetheless, when used in conjunction with driver oversight, the data is unequivocal that Autopilot reduces driver workload and results in a statistically significant improvement in safety when compared to purely manual driving.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Google instead is focusing on creating a fully autonomous car, all at once, and isn't selling any of them. That means it's lagging behind Tesla on driven miles, but they don't involve regular drivers. (Tesla \u003ca href=\"https://www.teslamotors.com/blog/tragic-loss\" target=\"_blank\">says\u003c/a> Autopilot has been activated for more than 130 million miles, while Google's \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/selfdrivingcar/where/\" target=\"_blank\">website says\u003c/a> its self-driving cars have driven 1.5 million miles.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Technologically, the approaches differ, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google relies on a highly expensive complex remote-sensing system called Lidar, which \u003ca href=\"http://9to5google.com/2015/10/16/elon-musk-says-that-the-lidar-google-uses-in-its-self-driving-car-doesnt-make-sense-in-a-car-context/\" target=\"_blank\">the website 9to5google.com explains\u003c/a> as an \"array on top of the vehicle, which — in simple terms — measures distance by pointing lasers at targets surrounding the car and analyzing the light that's reflected.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musk late last year suggested \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/73_Qjez1MbI?t=35m32s\" target=\"_blank\">in a press conference\u003c/a> that Lidar was a bit excessive for an automobile:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"For full autonomy you'd obviously need 360-degree cameras, you'd need probably redundant forward cameras, you'd need redundant computing hardware, and then redundant motors and a steering rack. ... That said, I don't think you need Lidar. I think you can do this all with passive optical and then with maybe one forward radar.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Tesla's Autopilot relies on a combination of \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.teslamotors.com/presskit/autopilot\" target=\"_blank\">cameras, radar, ultrasonic sensors\u003c/a> and data automatically steer down the highway, change lanes, and adjust speed in response to traffic,\" and uses auto braking technology by Israeli company Mobileye.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement \u003ca href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2016/07/01/mobileye-tesla/\" target=\"_blank\">posted by TechCrunch\u003c/a>, a Mobileye executive said the emergency auto braking was \"designed specifically\" for rear-end collision avoidance, and not a lateral collision like the fatal case revealed this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla drivers, including the man killed in the deadly crash, have posted scores of videos of near-collisions involving Autopilot use. Several \u003ca href=\"http://fortune.com/2016/05/26/tesla-autopilot-crash/\" target=\"_blank\">have blamed\u003c/a> the company for accidents that did occur, including 1) \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/model-s-on-autopilot-crashes-into-other-car-proving-yet-again-tesla-owners-arent-paying-close-enough/\" target=\"_blank\">this one in Europe\u003c/a>, 2) \u003ca href=\"http://arstechnica.com/cars/2016/05/another-driver-says-teslas-autopilot-failed-to-brake-tesla-says-otherwise/\" target=\"_blank\">this one in California\u003c/a> and 3) \u003ca href=\"http://www.theverge.com/2016/5/11/11658226/tesla-model-s-summon-autopilot-crash-letter\" target=\"_blank\">this one in Utah\u003c/a> — in which the Tesla crashed without the driver inside while the car was self-parking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tesla, after reviewing vehicle logs, has attributed those accidents to human error, saying the drivers 1) were inattentive, 2) disabled the automation and 3) misused the Summon feature and didn't heed the vehicle's warnings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google's fully self-driving cars, which mostly ride in city environments as opposed to highways, have so far caused one crash.
