In March 2018, Apple engineer Walter Huang died in a car crash while he was using his Tesla’s Autopilot assisted driving system.
2018年3月，蘋果工程師Walter Huang在使用特斯拉的Autopilot輔助駕駛系統時死於車禍。
Many of the details surrounding the crash remained undisclosed for almost two years.
圍繞墜機事件的許多細節在近兩年的時間裡一直未被披露。
But the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released documents Tuesday that reveal Autopilot was definitely engaged at the time, The Associated Press reports.
但據美聯社報道，美國國家運輸安全委員會(NTSB)週二公佈的文件顯示，當時肯定使用了自動駕駛儀。
The documents also revealed the grim detail that Huang had repeatedly complained that Autopilot would swerve his Tesla toward the particular highway barrier into which it ultimately crashed.
文件還披露了黃一再抱怨的嚴酷細節，稱Autopilot會讓他的特斯拉轉向最終撞上的特定高速公路障礙。
Huang’s complaints about the dangerous Autopilot glitch were so frequent that many of his family members were aware of the problem, according to The Washington Post.
據“華盛頓郵報”報道，黃對危險的自動駕駛儀故障的抱怨如此頻繁，以至於他的許多家庭成員都意識到了這個問題。
Just four days prior to the crash, he texted about how his car would swerve toward the exact road barrier into which it ultimately crashed.
就在撞車前四天，他發短信說他的車將如何轉向最終撞上的路障。
“The family explained that it happened so often that he had told both his brother and his wife about the problem,” the NTSB documents read.
NTSB的文件中寫道：“這家人解釋說，這件事發生得太頻繁了，以至於他把這個問題告訴了他的兄弟和妻子。”
According to the NTSB investigation and the Tesla’s internal sensors, Huang had his hands on the steering wheel for 34 seconds out of the final minute before the collision.
根據NTSB的調查和特斯拉的內部傳感器，在碰撞前的最後一分鐘裡，黃把手放在方向盤上了34秒。
He had switched on Autopilot nineteen minutes prior, WaPo reports.
據“華盛頓郵報”報道，他在19分鐘前就打開了自動駕駛儀。
The vehicle had been cruising at 62 MPH, but sped up to 71 MPH in the last few seconds before it crashed — a troubling sign for drivers who rely on the assisted driving system.
這輛車一直在以每小時62英里的速度巡航，但在撞車前的最後幾秒鐘加速到了每小時71英里-對於依賴輔助駕駛系統的司機來說，這是一個令人不安的跡象。
