A suspended license doesn’t mean that an operator is functionally unable to avoid ramming into obvious obstacles. Unless there is evidence that the driver intentionally meant to ram the police car or other wise cause harm through gross negligence, then his suspended license (and the fact that the hit car belongs to a cop) is a detail, but not the story. To put it another way, if a driver suffers a seizure on the highway, and Autopilot was able to avoid all collisions and bring the driver safely to the side of the road, what do you think the headline should be? “Driver suffers seizure on interstate, automatic driving system steers car to safety” Or: “Man successfully drives on interstate while having an incapacitating seizure”
