Well sadly the first casualties was a man that made 3 millions view on YouTube with a video called "Autopilot saves Model S" months before his fatal accident... http://youtu.be/9I5rraWJq6E

At that time I don't recall that Tesla made any statement about how dangerous it was to deliberately push the limit of the system to entertains viewers.

This might have contributed to make him overconfident about autopilot.

RIP

Yeah who knows. I think Musk retweeted his video. Hindsight is 20/20. Tesla can still move forward and learn from this.

That's going to hurt in the lawsuit, isn't it?
