Tesla wouldn't say if the system performed as designed. A spokeswoman referred to a company blog saying that a Tesla with Autopilot is far safer than vehicles without it. The blog says Autopilot does not prevent all crashes but makes them less likely.
The crash on U.S. 101 killed the driver, Walter Huang, 38, an Apple software engineer.
