From what I've read (which I'm not sure I entirely believe), the truck driver says the Tesla was out of sight behind a hill (Hill? In Florida?) when he started the turn. So yeah, if you and/or your autopilot are travelling too fast to react to crossing traffic (or deer, alligators, &c), there's a problem.
