Federal investigators are poised to recommend that Tesla Inc.’s Autopilot, the car maker’s suite of advanced driver-assistance systems, be declared a contributing factor in a fatal crash in May 2016, according to a Bloomberg report that cited a person briefed on the findings. The system allowed the driver of a Model S that drove itself into the side of a truck to go for long periods without steering or looking at the road, the report said. According to Bloomberg, the National Transportation Safety Board is meeting on Tuesday to issue final findings on the crash, and its conclusions could be revised. Tesla in June was found not at fault in the accident.
