If he was using a Level 4 autonomous driving solution there might be a case, but he was not. He was using cruise control in a place where he should not have been using cruise control.
Autopilot is cruise control. The name may be misleading, but every Tesla owner knows that it is just adaptive cruise control. Nothing more nothing less.

This should be a simple case.
