It's not been the best of times lately for self-driving car technology, with one of Uber's autonomous vehicles fatally injuring a pedestrian crossing the road in Arizona, and a Tesla Model X involved in another smash in California in which the driver was killed.

Now Tesla has revealed some of the details of the California incident, saying that its Autopilot self-driving technology was activated at the time of the crash. However, the company also says certain warnings were ignored by the driver just before the Model X collided with a concrete barrier.
