I think it's a bit ridiculous that the Tesla feature is called an autopilot when it only covers a subset of circumstances a human could handle. I don't see how a human being would not apply brakes when they see a truck perpendicular across a highway ... it can't be missed. The guy was not paying attention simply because the Tesla smoothly handles 95% of circumstances ... something in the other 5% occurred and he relied on the machine because of the smooth previous experience ... and died.
The robot led him to believe it was more competent than it really was.
