Polk called for further investigation into a dashcam video of the collision and of what the backup driver, who could face vehicular manslaughter charges, would've been able to see during the accident. Polk wasn't immediately available for comment.

Autonomous vehicles have a backup driver to intervene in case of emergencies. Police told Reuters that the driver in this incident was streaming an episode of The Voice at the time of the accident and not watching the road.
