If Tesla was able to live up to their marketing (calling the feature "Autopilot" and "self driving") it shouldn't have mattered what the occupants BAC was.

If I turn on autopilot on my plane and get shitfaced, it will crash and it would be my fault. I think Tesla’s marketing is over the top and their refusal to use radar frustrating. But I’m surprised this case made it to a jury, assuming he was actually drunk versus had a drink at one point in the day.

It would seem, believing marketing lies is worthy of death.
