&gt; Experts believe it is the first felony prosecution in the United States of a driver accused of causing a fatality while using a partially automated driver-assist system.<p>I have a really hard time believing this one. Nobody has been prosecuted with a felony after killing someone while using cruise control?

Yes.<p>If an airliner with autopilot enabled crashes because the pilots fell asleep, are the pilots at fault? Yes, clearly.

&quot;A representative for Tesla, which has disbanded its media relations department, could not be reached for comment.&quot;<p>When they said &quot;Someone should lose their job over this!&quot; that is not what they meant.
