> Before Lee’s car collided with the palm tree, court documents say, he attempted to regain control of the car, but “Autopilot and/or Active Safety features would not allow.”

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.

You're describing the behavior when functioning properly.

There's obviously a non-zero chance it malfunctioned.

Remember the Toyota brakes case. They blamed the rider, the it turned out to be a stack overflow into data..
