>3. Tesla's autopilot behavior after a crash is terrible. It doesn't stop. In the semitrailer crash, the vehicle continued under power for several hundred feet after sheering off the top of the Tesla driving under the semitrailer. Only when it hit a telephone pole did the car stop.

This is actually the most distributing part to me. In these situations, graceful failure or error handling is absolutely critical. If it cannot detect an accident, what the heck business does it have trying to prevent them?

I wonder if the dead driver hit the accelerator?

If he had hit the accelerator, you can bet your bottom dollar that Tesla would have mentioned this detail in order to continue the "driver's fault" narrative.
