It shouldn't counteract the negative news because every car manufacturer offers automatic emergency breaking as a feature so it's not a distinguishing benefit of Tesla, it works fine without Tesla's controversial and dangerous Autopilot mode enabled, the main example Elon Musk himself posted of it preventing a collision was in manual mode in conditions totally unsuitable for Autopilot, and the entire industry already agrees that it's a worthwhile safety improvement. I believe it's even going to become mandatory on new cars in the US at some point for safety reasons.
