'Huang had complained of problems with his Autopilot and navigation systems in the weeks leading up to the crash.' Argh! People, if you know you car has problems, please compensate for them so you don't end up like he did!

As a private pilot with an instrument rating I would never have thought to use a newly installed autopilot in my airplane without hours of instruction by a qualified instructor pilot.
When I purchased my new Tesla Model 3 I was handed the key card and not given even one minute of instruction on how to operate the car and its incredible computers.
Giving an untrained driver a Tesla with its"autopilot" feature is asking for tragedies like this.
Fortunately I took my 13 year old grandson with me to pick up the car and he knew exactly how to operate the vehicle.
