Their answer is nonsense. No driver would be holding down the accelerator while they crashed into the house. They'd be freaking out and bracing for impact. Ashok doesn't want to admit that the Autopilot software has a serious problem and neither does Musk.

A crash like this doesn't bode well for self-driving vehicles. The Autopilot software said it was in override mode, but the driver said it wasn't. They are trying to pin it on the driver, which makes you think twice about ever getting into a self-driving vehicle. Its your word against their software.
