> Tesla Model S in Autopilot mode allegedly came to a T-intersection and, failing to see that the roadway was ending, kept his foot on the accelerator

Autopilot requires you to have your foot on the accelerator? That seems weird to me.

Normally, Autopilot does not require your foot on the accelerator. Pressing the accelerator overrides it to make to car move ahead where the autopilot decided to stop. At the time, autopilot would always stop at an intersection, and the driver was supposed to move ahead when it is clear.
