No, it’s not OK to let Tesla's Autopilot drive you to the hospital

Over the weekend, the story broke that a Missouri lawyer, Joshua Neally, claimed that the Autopilot system in his Tesla Model X saved his life when he suffered a pulmonary embolism while behind the wheel. Neally contends his Model X drove him to the hospital, saving his life.

Some, including KY3, the Missouri news station to originally air the report, are calling it the "counter-example to that fatal Florida crash." That's because Autopilot saved a life, rather than took one.

This, as it turns out, is the exact opposite conclusion that should be taken away from this story.
