I believe this is caused by the fog combined with flashing lights and upward/curved road. The Tesla autopilot system is super impressive in almost all situations but you can clearly see the limits in extreme situations. Here, the drunk driver is definitely at fault, I don't understand why they'd sue Tesla.

Money. Tesla has much more money than the drunk.

Because of Tesla's exaggerated advertising.
