Except the car was under manual control, and it is unclear what the cause of the accident was.

"... an account of the incident says it started when the automation computer steered the car incorrectly."

Of course, Vogt blames it on the human:

“There was enough time,” he said. “He took over manual control but unfortunately made a mistake.”
