It's unknown if autopilot was engaged... Sigh..

They know, they just can't tell the media while the investigation is ongoing.
But if a vehicle crashed on a turning tractor trailer (they start to slow down and signal hundreds and hundreds of meters before turning) hitting on the side without signs of braking, it means the driver was sleeping while the cruise control was engaged (I don't use their misleading marketing term for what is actually an advanced cruise control)

Forbes reports; nothing to report.

Every day, almost 3,700 people are killed globally in crashes involving cars, buses, motorcycles, bicycles, trucks, or pedestrians; nobody bats an eye. (c.f. US CDC)
One Tesla crashes and it's front page news.

I guess the difference is we expect humans to fuck up, but autonomous driving is meant to eventually be the thing that replaces that and stops us fucking up.

Leave the billionaire and his shitty cars alone 😭

This same crash modality was one of the first autopilot crashes.
When your autopilot will drive right into the side of a truck, people are right to question its safety.

It's the fault of the driver whether it's engaged or not
Source: trust me bro.
On a serious note though why would they do that? Pretty sure they are legally covered with all the warnings that you are responsible for your vehicle.
