From previous reporting on this incident in 2018:
> “The driver had received several visual and one audible hands-on warning earlier in the drive and the driver’s hands were not detected on the wheel for six seconds prior to the collision,” Tesla said. “The driver had about five seconds and 150 meters of unobstructed view of the concrete divider with the crushed crash attenuator, but the vehicle logs show that no action was taken.”
Also, the safety barrier that would've reduced the force of the impact had not been replaced after a recent accident just days before.
> Earlier this week, Tesla said the divider was missing a safety barrier designed to reduce the impact of a crash. The automaker provided an image of the location taken a day before the collision that appeared to show the barrier had not been replaced following a recent crash.
Reddit thread and Youtube video with a Model S driver reproducing the AP behavior due to the lane markings and uneven pavement:
