Apparently, the victim had complained to Tesla repeatedly that the autopilot would veer towards the barrier: http://abc7news.com/automotive/i-team-exclusive-victim-who-died-in-tesla-crash-had-complained-about-auto-pilot/3275600/ http://abc7news.com/automotive/i-team-exclusive-victim-who-d... On the other hand, if I knew the autopilot was trying to do such things, I would not use it so much.

Yeah, and it looks like the AP got confused by the lack of attenuation barrier, so a double whammy -- the AP probably would've avoided it if the barrier had been there, and it would've saved his life. Honestly, I agree with Tesla in that maybe blame shouldn't be directed towards them. They should be held responsible for the crash, but not the death -- if you want to save lives, those barriers should be replaced immediately, and that is something CalTrans should definitely do.
