That's... what autopilot does. What's the allegation here? That he used autopilot correctly and filmed it?
More to the point, where's the allegation that autopilot was at fault here? The only detail I can find is that he hit an existing overturned vehicle in the middle of the night. That's actually a routine kind of accident for human drivers, who aren't prepared to see stationary objects in the road. Add to that "2:30am" and I think it's pretty clear we'd all view this as a terrible but unavoidable tragedy in any other vehicle.
Again, what's the actual story here? I know what they want us to think based on the headline and lede. I just don't see that in the text of the article. Someone help me out here.
