Tesla gives you fairly loud warnings (and shaking) if it senses you are trying to drive into a wall or off the road just in case driver is falling asleep. Of course it will still let you drive off a cliff or crash as right now the driver always overrides the car controls.
It also applies last second automatic emergency breaking during a collision, but the driver can override that too. You can also turn it off in settings.

It seems odd to me that someone would fall asleep while driving with their wife and two young kids in the car on that dangerous stretch of highway.

Seems that it's been confirmed he did this on purpose. What an idiot.

Murder-suicide-familycide. Happens often enough, usually by gun.

What a terrifying survival.

Why do people snap. It is very sad. Now he is off to prison and the children will have no Dad. Another fatherless family.

Why can't people just go quietly off themselves?

And all inputs from the driver and car state diagnostics. They have a black box similar to airplanes with data going to Tesla HQ as well to feed their supercomputer AI software.

Maybe the wife was able to talk at some point.

Indeed. With the never ending attempts to destroy Tesla, they keep very detailed records. Which the cops know of course.

That is a good question. Why couldnt he have just killed himself? They trauma they will have from this is unimaginable.

Assuming he snapped... he might have premeditated it for a while. A lot of people who kill fantasize and plan it out.
