This crash occured on May 7 and we're just hearing about it now because of NHTSA. In the meantime Tesla continues to tout the safety benefits of Autopilot, even in the very blog post where they announce this tragic death.
Elon tweeted a video of this same driver being "saved" by Autopilot just two weeks after it was posted to YouTube in early April. But the same driver dies in an accident involving Autopilot and we don't find out until 8 weeks later. That original video was still generating comments about the wonders of Autopilot, after he had been killed.
