Be responsible: Thune says that car manufacturers must educate consumers not only about their product's benefits but also their limitations.

WASHINGTON: The chairman of the US Senate committee that oversees auto safety issues wrote Tesla Motors Inc chief executive Elon Musk on Thursday, asking the automaker to brief the committee on a fatal May 7 crash involving its Autopilot software.

Senator John Thune, a South Dakota Republican who heads the US Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, asked the automaker to brief the committee by July 29 on the accident and Tesla's response to it, according to the letter seen by Reuters.
