From the article:

> "Tesla has always been clear that Autopilot doesn't make the car impervious to all accidents, and before a driver can use Autopilot, they must accept a dialogue box which states that 'Autopilot is designed for use on highways that have a center divider and clear lane markings,'" a Tesla spokesperson said in an emailed statement.

From the picture at the top of the story, it is clear there is no divider on the stretch of road where the accident occurred.

Maybe it should detect when it is being misused, and start blaring loud noises, do its best to make the driver carsick, or simply immobilize the car.

Musk demos auto-pilot to the press in response to a recent crash in an area that is: A) not a highway, and B) has no lane dividers:

Also takes his hands off the wheel while using it in a manner that if someone else did and died, Tesla would slam them in the press for doing so, using dodgy-from-a-privacy-perspective and potentially-inaccurate (frequent reports of hands on wheel false negatives) telemetry.
