WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Detroit police said Tuesday they do not believe Tesla s driver assistance system Autopilot was in use during a crash last week of a Tesla that became wedged underneath a tractor-trailer and left a passenger in critical condition.
On Monday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said it was aware of the violent crash in Detroit on March 11 and a Special Crash Investigation (SCI) team would investigate.
Detroit Police Assistant Chief David LeValley said Tuesday at a press briefing that all indications are that the Tesla was not in Autopilot mode at the time, citing statements made by the driver and video evidence showing some evasive maneuvers before the crash.

Greece continues to figure in the lowest spots in the developed world in terms of attracting clinical studies, participants at a panel discussion organized by the Council of Competitiveness of Greece heard on Tuesday.

According to figures presented at the online discussion, Greece s participation in global clinical studies ranks a paltry 0.67 percent, whereas reaching 1 percent translates into 10,000 patients receiving the latest innovative therapies.
