How do you know hitting the brakes would have avoided the collision? Could have caused vehicles to slam into the Tesla causing more carnage. A different section of the truck could have sheered off the roof. Things are hardly as simple as autopilot didn't activate the brakes. It
could be that but without video and studying the telemetry from the Tesla we don't know.
Either way the driver was ultimately at fault cars with these auto drive systems make it clear you are required to pay attention and be ready to assume control at any time. Also the more prevalent auto drive becomes the more accidents and deaths will be attributed to the systems because they are not perfect and never will be.
