Did he/it?

A few people have made this assertion, but when you pull across a carriageway it is your duty to make sure that it's clear. The driver/autopilot combination appears to be a compounding factor rather than a cause as such.

It is entirely possible that this would also have been prevented had the truck driver been using an autopilot as well.
