From my understanding the driver who died in the crash had previously reported problems in this area. I wonder if it was this specific crash site or not, I wonder why too if the person was aware of it why they didn't pay more attention during it - and to stop trusting it. I can understand how easy it is to be uncertain of something and have enough trust or rather a thread of hope that "nothing bad will happen to me."

I wonder too, if it's true that the person who died in the crash reported the area, what process Tesla followed and .. Any area reported with a problem IMHO should immediately start warning other drivers going in the same area until the issue is resolved, even disabling auto-pilot completely until Tesla's resolved it. I'm sure that would make people safer than the temporary inconveniences they would cause - I'd hope people would take that attitude anyway.

If the driver previously reported problems on a section of roadway and was then inattentive when driving that section of roadway, that’s a perfect setup for a reckless driving ticket. They knew a problem existed and recklessly ignored it. Autopilot does not excuse this in any way whatsoever.
