"Autopilot" aka adaptive cruise control is going to continue failing since drivers think it's more than that.
More people are going to die in spectacular, headlining fashion.
Imagine if that was a schoolbus instead of a firetruck.
Even Tesla's "non-autopilot" crashes are front page news because it's such a story.
Every front page story whittles away a little at the magical Tesla brand.
A brand, which in the midst of production issues, capitalization issues, and leadership issues is their major asset that could carry them to the other side.
Turn the thing off if hands aren't on the wheel, end of story.
