> No, the apparent fact that the car was in Autopilot is what makes this interesting. Autopilot is touted as being effective – if not more effective than human operators – in avoiding this kind of accident. And the fact we only hear about one of these kinds of crashes every few months essentially proves it's true. Remember, more than 100 people are killed on the roads each and every day of the year in the USA. Dig into the stats, one Tesla crashing does not mean that overall Autopilot is not effective.
