I have used AP in stop and go traffic on Crow Canyon, but never at full speed. Norris Canyon either.I've never tried AP on Crow Canyon... because it looks exactly like the sort of road you should drive manually.
Because clicks.They asked Tesla for a comment. Why? Do they ask Ford or Chevy for a comment every time one of their cars gets wrecked?
Looks like he crashed through the fence at a very slight angle to the roadway, and continued into the pond. If you watch the video from the story you can see where the fence was damaged, and if you look at the aerial view on google, you can see he traveled maybe 50 yards into the pond. The roadway is pretty straight before this. Maybe he was simply distracted by his phone?

If this was my fatality it would be speed, and that I misjudged a corner.Drunk -- had to have been. Even if AP had veered him off the road, he would have had PLENTY of time to brake or steer away. You absolutely CANNOT blame AP on this! Hope he had a dash cam that would have documented all this!
This would be Tesla's 29th (ish ?) fatality. Ford has had that many in an hour, Tesla has so few that they still get the microscope every single time. Same goes for broken ankles.
I'm not sure there are so few anymore.It's not comparing apples to anything, it's the reason Tesla gets directly interviewed about every fatality... because it's actually possible to do that. There are many reasons, but at the end of the discussion the only explanation that matters is "because there are so few"
