This was the crash in China in 2016 killing the Tesla driver because he was trusting on autopilot. His family sued Tesla later that year for providing misleading information only 8 months after the crash.
================================
The state broadcaster CCTV aired a report about a January 2016 crash that killed 23-year-old G.Y. The report included apparent dash cam footage of the car slamming into a slow-moving orange truck.

An official interviewed in the report said the car's autopilot feature was active at the time of the crash. CCTV reported G's family has sued Tesla in a Beijing court, though the lawsuit was not available in online court records.

Tesla said in a statement that the car was too damaged in the wreck to transmit data to company servers, and that G's family had not cooperated with the company's investigation.

"We have tried repeatedly to work with our customer to investigate the cause of the crash, but he has not provided us with any additional information that would allow us to do so," it said.

It was going straight like it was on rails and at a rock-steady speed. Guilty as charged.

obstruction sensor failure probably?

Here I am thinking the self driving car I’m in someday is going to decide for me either a head on collision or hit a pedestrian. This thing literally drove into the back of a big slow moving orange vehicle with flashing lights.

What the fuck kind of "additional information" would the family have? The driver, who was there, and is a witness, is dead.
That bullshit-ass statement alone would have me find Tesla 100% guilty and responsible.

Tesla's autopilot is a beta software and you have to sign a waiver to use it. They have no standing to sue.

Yes, because the family who was not in the car at the time knows it was on autopilot not the company who recieves data from the car if it is in autopilot. Why are people so, I hate to say it so bluntly, dumb?! How would the family know it was on auto pilot? Ive seen 10,000 of these videos shere people hit slow moving vehicles while not paying attention. Use your brain and think. Whomever has the car holds access to prove iv the car was on autopilot. Since it stopped transmitting data, all the family needs to do is let Tesla get the info. That info would be available to both sides in court and could save lives. The fact that the family wont allow access is suspicous but I cant make a judgement because i have little information, and at least half a brain to see that...come on people use that gray matter between your ears!

Tesla ONLY asked fysical acces to the wreck to download the Data from around the time of Crash.
So they could reverse engineer how the auto pilot missed this huge Obstacle

If there was a software or hardware fault discovered they could at least fix it to prevent any further risks.
