Back in the Spring there was a horrible Tesla wreck that oddly enough was a guy I talked to 2 times in a neighborhood where I was replacing roofs at. The driver and passenger were both in the back of the car which led to speculation of Autopilot being engaged. The car was completely burned to a crisp and barely identifiable. Elon confirmed they knew every move of that car and even in the height of the investigation publicly stated Autopilot was definitely not a factor in the crash.
Now just imagine the liability you're potentially exposed to with such a software, but you've got some seriously concrete data to publicly shut down the rumor while the investigation is still fresh.

Teslas are also nearly impossible to steal for the same reason and the network can take control of the care and even let authorities know real time data.
