It's unknown if autopilot was engaged... Sigh..

They know, they just can't tell the media while the investigation is ongoing.

But if a vehicle crashed on a turning tractor trailer (they start to slow down and signal hundreds and hundreds of meters before turning) hitting on the side without signs of braking, it means the driver was sleeping while the cruise control was engaged (I don't use their misleading marketing term for what is actually an advanced cruise control)

Indeed, no human has crashed into a turning tractor trailer before.

It happens because other cars also have cruise control. Human gets accidentally asleep with cruise control on, dies on impact.

You forgot the /s. A lot of humans exist.
