I think we need some more details in order to conclusively blame the Autopilot for this death. I would like to see the full report and really do hope that Tesla can see their way to coming back into the fold and cooperating with the NTSB on a deeply technical fact based analysis on what happened here. For one thing, we do need to know more about the broken crash attenuator and the impact that it had on a severity of the incident. All of that being said, I still think Tesla has mostly the right approach to their Autopilot system. There is an unacceptably high number of crashes caused by human error and getting to autonomous driving as fast as possible will save lives. It is virtually impossible to build a self driving system in a lab, with all current known methods you must have a large population of vechicles training the system. The basic calculus with their approach is that the safety risks of not getting to autonomous driving sooner is more than the risks of failures in the system along the way to getting there. It is admittedly a very fine line to walk but I do see the logic in it. I do think that Tesla could do more to educate the users who are using early versions of the software.
