I've seen a lot of people saying the driver overreacted and that their putting the car in a ditch is evidence of their lack of driving skills. I suspect that those making those criticisms haven't tried cancelling a Tesla when it's in FSD or Autopilot. It takes a fair amount of torque on the wheel to cancel those modes. When they do disengage, unless you're prepared, you oversteer, since now there's nothing resisting the wheel. The first time this happened to me I almost oversteered off the road and barely recovered and avoided sending the car off a bank that would have easily destroyed the car and likely caused my death. There is a way to cancel these modes using then right stalk behind the steering wheel, but it's the last thing anyone driver with experience is going to thing of doing when trying to steer the car to avoid a collision.
