If Tesla is partially responsible for this fatal accident, who or what else was ruled as contributing to the crash?


Well, I dont think anyone else contributed a system called "autopilot."


And yet Tesla was only found 33% accountable, so the presence of "autopilot" was only 1/3 of the cause.


The article is clear. The driver bore the rest of the responsibility.


I'd guess the driver since he was using his phone, then dropped it and was scrambling to pick it up when the accident happened.
