If it turns out that the car was really on autopilot, we only have the driver's word so far, I will admit that an investigation is needed.

But still Tesla is about to release a whole new rewrite of the software that should be able to handle situations like this effectively. It's designed to manage all the crazy things that occur when driving on city streets. Today Musk said it would be released soon.
Sounds like they really need it.
