a confounding factor is whether he had cruise control active or not. Not ruling out that this could have happened as described however my understanding (and in my experience as a Tesla owner) is that the main screen only only for user feedback. The main screen crashes maybe once a month for me, and although everything works while it reboots, the indicator sounds don't play giving you the impression they’re not working. If you have autopilot or cruise control on they’ll continue to operate even though you can’t see any feedback or hear the indicators. I could see how someone could get into this situation and while panicking accidentally activate cruise control and think the car is stuck.

Cruise control should disengage when you hit the brakes for the first time and the car should begin to coast.

> The main screen crashes maybe once a month for me Excuse me, but what the fuck? How is it possible that the multi-ton high-speed metal box with potential to kill people reboots once a month? If my car was rebooting once a month, I would definitely get rid of it. No feedback means I don’t know what my indicators show, which means they might be misleading to others and cause crashes.

  This screen is an infotainment screen. The driving systems are independent and still function normally if it crashes.

  To be clear, reboot != crash while driving. Sometimes I get in the car in the morning and the screen is black and thus I need to press the steering wheel buttons to reset. Or similar, sometimes the screen still works but a particular feature doesn't (no cellular connectivity, the map is frozen, songs don't play etc) I've had a BMW i3 and a Chevy volt, and I'd say they had similar issues, however since the instrument cluster wasn't on the only display, it wasn't as notable of an issue. In both cars, I've driven kilometres without working music/nav/whatever until I could pull over and reboot.
