VERBATIM: Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg says he’s concerned about Tesla’s marketing of the system, which is being investigated in crashes that have caused at least 14 deaths since 2016. Buttigieg says Tesla shouldn’t call the system Autopilot when the fine print says drivers need to have their hands on the steering wheel and eyes on the road at all times. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said he expects to have fully autonomous vehicles this year.
