Onboard vehicle logs show Autopilot was turned off in Pennsylvania crash.

Reminds me of the old airplane joke. Airline pilot message to maintenance: "Autoland system on this plane is very rough". Maintenance reply: "Plane does not have autoland".
Makes me wonder if there's something in the software that either doesn't turn on the system even though the driver presses the on button*, or turns it off without the driver being aware of the fact.
*I have an audio player like that. Sometimes have to press the ON button 4 or 5 times before it actually turns on. And a tablet that doesn't turn on unless I hold the switch for a count of 3.
