What a bunch of crap. How about holding the driver 100% responsible for his own actions and stupidity.
Indeed.
The NTSB is offering opinion as fact, fact that is in fact unsubstantiated conjecture.
'If you hadn't called it autopilot/autosteer this would have been less likely to happen' is what they're saying.
No doubt they've may suppositions in the past, but basically saying 'the driver believed that because the system was called autopilot, he was fine driving while distracted. This could have been avoided. He chose to ignore California law and drive while using his 'Phone, but if his employer would have told him not to, this could have been avoided.'
Talk about having an agenda.
