I’m on my phone so maybe I haven’t found the most relevants links, but I found the followings.

This is Elon musk bragging before the first autopilot accident : https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2016/04/25/elon-musk-...

This is a counterpoint with some fact: http://safer-america.com/safe-self-driving-cars/

And concerning the crash, last update seemed to point driver’s fault... with autopilot... don’t know if final ruling is already out:

According to that "update", Tesla Autopilot can never be at fault right? Because the driver is supposed to be in charge. So, even if Tesla rams full speed into a semi, the driver is at fault!

Yes, that's how Level 2 systems (like Tesla Autopilot) work.
