The driver of a Tesla Inc. vehicle who hit and killed a Seattle-area motorcyclist in April was using the company’s driver-assistance technology known as Full Self-Driving at the time of the crash, Washington state authorities said.
The collision is part of an ongoing investigation by the Washington State Patrol’s criminal division, Chris Loftis, a spokesperson, said Wednesday.
