Nonsense, the truck obviously wasn't taking that left turn at high speed. Yet it managed to go across two lanes and well into the side road before the impact, so that the car in the right lane hit somewhere in the middle of the trailer and yet didn't even attempt to brake or swerve.


The autopiled failed completely.


By the way, I am wondering if the autopilot did notice the truck, would it try hitting the front or back of the truck in such case, where there is wheel/axle structure and car crumple zones can be engaged, instead of going for the middle where driver decapitation is almost guaranteed.
