So he claims that the car changed lanes to take the exit and that would be a problem but can his account be trusted?
Tesla or any other car maker can't really solve this anyway, any system bellow Level 5 won't handle everything.The system can get better but can never be sufficient.
The hard part is the perception software, interpreting the sensor data to understand the environment. If you do that right, you have Level 5, if you don't, there will be situations where the system fails to perform well.
Not that Level 5 is well defined and that needs fixing. For commercial viability, the system should perform better than the best human driver in any and all situations.
If Tesla or anyone else aims lower, they will get into trouble. It's not enough to be many times safer than the average driver overall. The world will look at this on a case by case basis as every person has human rights and the right to live is rather important. Being better than the best human driver is maybe not that difficult though as humans have very poor perception-reaction time , less capable sensors, not as precise as the robot and the robot will be able to always choose the best solution (once the perception software is sorted).
