    If Tesla is telling the truth about the driver’s behavior then yeah, sure, they are almost certainly in the clear here. However, they have definitely not earned the trust required for me to just take them at their word that such is the case, so the facts can come out in litigation.

      Sensible attitude. I would think certifying these vehicles for public roads requires a black-box type recording system, as on airliners, which local authorities would immediately collect for a crash investigation. If so, that data will show whether the car or the guy was driving. There’s really no point in people taking sides based on feeling a certain way about Elon Musk.
