Yet the video cuts off so we don't know, but if in Autopilot, the Tesla should have pulled off on the ample shoulder. In proper driving education, humans are taught proper protocol in such a situation is to pull over onto the shoulder of the road so oncoming traffic can see the accident and avoid it, and the driver can avoid being rear ended. AND did the Tesla Autopilot automatically and instinctively put on its hazard flashers to notify other drivers behind it to use caution.
Kudos to Elon. Did he Tweet about it?

It's a good thing it didn't immediately go to the shoulder, or it may have caught the tire coming back to finish off the Kia!
Does the Autopilot use the rear cameras as well? I don't know enough about the system.
