That proves nothing! Everyone that wrecks a Tesla says they were on Autopilot and then Tesla checks the computer and says no they weren't.

(AP) — A Tesla in autopilot mode crashed into a Snohomish County deputy’s patrol car north of Seattle, causing significant damage but no injuries. ... About 30 seconds later, a Tesla in autopilot mode hit the deputy’s vehicle, heavily damaging the front driver’s side, sheriff's officials said. No one was hurt. “This is a great reminder that vehicles may have autopilot to assist, but it cannot be relied upon to get you safely from one destination to the next,” the sheriff's office said on Facebook. ========= Would it make any difference if Tesla had chosen a different term, such as driver assist ? The name leads to the impression that it automatically will pilot itself. Of course, even in aviation, "autopilot" is meant as an aid and must be supervised by the pilot.
