How many times do we have to say this? A Tesla isn’t a self-driving car, say investigators after Apple man’s fatal crash

Article has a link to the video of NTSB’s board meeting discussing the crash.
(3 hours 24 minutes, so I’m gonna trust El Reg with the summary here.)

Some questions remain open because Tesla refused to cooperate with the probe. But it seems safe to say that crash happened the way it did because the driver’s attention was focused on his phone and not on the road. He would have had a good chance to survive the crash though if the attenuator he crashed into had been in order.
