I think we cannot agree because we don't have the same definition about who should be responsible of what.
This is probably because Tesla call this feature Autopilot, while it is just an Autosteer (they also use this name sometime).
Autopilot gives the impression that the car should be autonomous and be able to drive itself, while this is really not the case.
The car can only do basically 4 things:
-Follow the road lines
-Follow the car in front (this is what happen in this video)
-OCR on the road sign to adjust it speed
-Emergency breaking
All the rest is currently the responsibility of the driver, including reducing the speed in dangerous situations (like this one), taking the wheel in sharp turns, taking the wheel in cities, doing stops at traffic lights etc.
The Tesla is NOT (yet) an autonomous car, and if you drive it with that expectation, it can be very dangerous indeed.
