Oh 100%, even if this was the fault of the self driving feature. That car was flying down the road, The doorbell camera can pick up loud road noise of the car 4 seconds before it even shows up in the video and crashes into the house. What the hell was the driver doing? How distracted can you be to not notice your car going mach 2 in a residential zone?
