Tthe driver had specifically complained to Tesla about the autopilot misbehaving at that specific spot. Perhaps he intentionally had his hands off the wheel just to see what autopilot would do, and the suddenness of the move caught him off guard.

Tesla Driver Allegedly Reported Autopilot Issues to Dealer Several Times Prior to Fatal Crash - The Drive

Huang's family reportedly told local news that Huang made several complaints to his local Tesla dealer regarding the vehicle veering off the road with Autopilot engaged. What seemingly makes matters worse is that the dealer was allegedly told that it wasn't just any stretch of road Huang experienced the problem with, but the same stretch of road where the accident occurred.
