The folks who try this route to cover up their own mistake usually don’t know about the vehicle data logs....which always prove them wrong. Lots of things have to go wrong for something like this to happen.
How would autopilot even engage when not on a road. The software specifically written to prevent it.
All the torque sensors on the steering wheel would have to fail so he couldn’t override the steering input...which can be done with your baby finger.
Brake systym would have to have a complete and total failure. They are mechanical.
And all (and a bunch of other things) would have to fail at the same time.
Toyota had a run on this kind of thing until people figured out that the black box records all inputs.
On edit. Typo.
