Regarding the accident itself, however, the spokesperson said, "Autopilot is intended for use only with a fully attentive driver". Quite a few other drivers have lodged complaints regarding this model of auto undergoing an accident while on Autopilot Mode. Tesla's "autopilot" is not fully autonomous driving, though it can look like it for short stretches and under specific conditions.
