My first thought was that too (After all Tesla has revoked AP in past - https://www.theverge.com/2020/2/6/21127243/tesla-model-s-autopilot-disabled-remotely-used-car-update https://www.theverge.com/2020/2/6/21127243/tesla-model-s-aut... - in that case they re-enabled it after the news blew up. But on reflection I think its the wrong move. Its not the drivers first time doing this and there are already have laws in place for this sort of thing, Basically driving license revocation. (I understand that DUI drivers can be required to equip a breathalyzer as a condition to retain their licence, does this option get offered to repeat offenders?) Revoking auto drive wouldn't prevent the driver from selling the car and getting another Tesla if they REALLY wanted the feature back (It appears the person in question comes from a wealthy family). I don't feel that the loss of the feature would be much of a deterant and it penalises any other driver of the car who would use the feature correctly (which might even be the cars next owner).
