TEHAMA COUNTY Workshop to improve business, productivity set CONTRIBUTED St. Elizabeth Community Hospital representatives pose with the 2015Business of the Year award. TheAssociatedPress PALO ALTO Tesla said Monday that the term "Autopilot" was mistak- enly removed from the electric car maker's web- site for China, but it has been restored. The company said it did revise some language on the site to make it clearer to drivers that Autopilot is a driver-assist system and not a self-driving system. Tesla has been under pressure to stop using the term Autopilot in the U.S. following the death of an Ohio tech company owner in a Florida crash involv- ing the system. Last week, a driver in Beijing relying on Autopilot mode side- swiped a car parked on the side of the road. Tesla says the driver's hands weren't detected on the steering wheel during the crash. The company says drivers using Autopilot must keep their hands on the wheel and be ready to take over. Revisions to the lan- guage on websites have been under way for weeks to address "discrepancies across languages," the Palo Alto, California, com- pany said in a statement. The timing had nothing to do with current events or articles, and Tesla has no plans to remove any references to Autopilot from any website, spokes- woman Khobi Brooklyn said. Tesla's Autopilot sys- tem uses cameras, radar and computers to detect objects and automatically brake if the car is about to hit something. It also can steer the car to keep it cen- tered in its lane. The com- pany says that before Au- topilot can be used, driv- ers must acknowledge that it's an "assist feature." In July, Consumer Re- ports magazine said the company should drop the name because it gives car owners too much trust in their car's ability to drive itself. The influential maga- zine also said that Tesla should disconnect the au- tomatic steering system until it's updated to make sure a driver's hands are on the wheel at all times. Tesla's system currently warns drivers after a few minutes of their hands be- ing off the wheel. At the time, Tesla said data it collects show driv- ers who use Autopilot are safer than those who don't. AUTOMOBILES Tesla: Removal of 'Autopilot' from Chinese site a mistake MARK SCHIEFELBEIN — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE Visitors look at a Tesla Model S electric car on display at the Beijing International Automotive Exhibition in Beijing.
