So if your hands are on the wheel is the autopilot still in control and you are not? I'm curious because if their telemetry says his hands were not on the wheel but they were, then did he just drive himself into the barrier?

Tesla's autopilot is setup to check if the driver's hands are on the wheel. If it does not detect hands on the wheel it disengages. The argument they make is that having hands on wheel is, effectively, having the driver in the loop as a part of the safety system ready and able to take over 'instantaneously' if necessary.

  So his hands weren't detected on the wheel and the autopilot disengages at highway speeds? I can't really understand how this is supposed to work.

    It doesn't work. That's my whole takeaway. It's just a fancy lane keeping and cruise control system.

what telemetry? Why would anyone trust this data?
