I hate to speak ill of the departed. but none of the comments explore this point:
This guy sounds like a bit of an overly-solicitous Tesla fanboy and/or sycophant, who, possibly, having once "used this car to its full extent" in the prior avoidance situation, this time intentionally failed to take over control in order to test the autopilot, perhaps with the hope of getting another great avoidance success story and youtube video and/or to ingratiate himself with a celebrity like Elon Musk.
Some people can get a bit too cultishly infatuated with technology/social media attention/techno big-shots. We must think with our minds as well as our hearts.

Autonomous car futurist Brad Templeton talks about the technical factors behind the fatal crash and discusses implications for the autonomous car industry.
