    Pure speculation, but I’m guessing the wreck + vehicle fire may have destroyed any computers/logs.

    Assuming that there’s an actual valid reason that it’s unclear whether the vehicle was in autopilot or not.

      I would hope that for a new piece of technology (EVs are still new imo) that they would find a robust way to keep track of any logs. If you make a car and the second it is in an accident all the logs disappear, then what’s the point? I’d consider that negligence.
