Love the "just the facts" reporting.

The driver is responsible for having set the speed 10 MPH above the limit and for not paying attention.

CDOT is responsible for constructing an interchange that is confusing to both people and machines as evidenced by the repeated collisions by both.

Tesla is responsible for not being able to detect the danger that would be plainly obvious to an alert human.

I still think it would be in manufacturers best interest to have designated safe zones where autonomous features are allowed to operate, or at minimum define the unsafe or unknown zones where their systems are not sophisticated enough to ensure a reasonable level of safety.

A smart system would notice patterns where human intervention was required, and mark that zone as unsafe for autonomous travel.
