That's a load of horseshit.
If you hit the brakes or turn the wheel, it immediately shuts off AP.
Even if an active safety system was trying to dodge something that wasn't there, it's not hard to turn the wheel where you want to go and overrule the safety system.
Something really doesn't add up to what truly caused this crash.
There's obviously a non-zero chance it malfunctioned.
My guess is this is going to settle before a verdict and we'll never hear about it again.
IMNAL, but I’d guess that at settlement would only be with this plaintiff and have no bearing on next time someone dies while using Autopilot.
