First time in USA: Tesla Autopilot owner charged with vehicular manslaughter

This got buried here but this is really pretty big news. This part seems a bit odd though: "The filing of charges in the California crash could serve notice to drivers who use systems like Autopilot that they cannot rely on them to control vehicles."

When you have Elon touting and selling the tech like he has it seems to me that Tesla must assume some responsibility for these failures.

The article says "the driver of a Tesla on Autopilot who ran a red light" but Elon tells them the car will stop when there is a red light on at an intersection, and most of the time it will.

I'm not saying the driver has no part in this. No one should be using that feature, ever. But since Musk is touting it and selling it when it fails that is not the user's fault. It is their fault for using it, but not that it failed.
