It is amazing how many of these article don't mention or barely mention that Teslas have multiple systems to try to prevent this that would have needed to be circumvented for this car to be using Autopilot without anyone at the wheel. They systems can obviously be improved as they are very easy to circumvent, but the mere need to circumvent them is part of the story as it shows the people in the car were aware they were misusing the system and that this was an dangerous idea.
