In 2018 crash, Tesla's Autopilot just followed the lane lines

Musk has said cars operating in Autopilot are safer than those controlled by humans, a message that several plaintiffs -- and some experts -- have said creates a false sense of complacency among Tesla drivers. The company has argued that it is not responsible for crashes because it makes clear to Tesla drivers in user manuals and on dashboard screens that they are solely responsible for maintaining control of their car at all times. So far, that argument has prevailed in court, most recently when a California jury found Tesla not liable for a fatal crash that occurred when Autopilot was allegedly engaged.
