Tesla: > Because of the damage caused by the collision, the car was physically incapable of transmitting log data to our servers and we therefore have no way of knowing whether or not Autopilot was engaged at the time of the crash. Well that is even more troubling. Looking past the suspicious lack of logs from the car in the incident, it should be a rock hard lose-your-business-license requirement for any kind of autonomy in cars, that the log data is preserved in accidents. I can imagine very few scenarios where a black box type of device could not be salvaged from a wrecked car. EDIT: From the wording, it seems like it may actually have been the 'transmitting' of the data that was impossible. That would make things even worse, if Tesla could not even be bothered to requisition the car data (through legal means if necessary) in a case where a bug in their software may have killed someone.
