if he hadn't been in FSD mode and passed out and jammed on the accelerator for 2 minutes, would the crash have been avoided? if not, what is the relevance of it being in FSD before the driver overrode it? Seems like the title framing disingenuously suggests it was a factor in the accident, while the content of the article makes perfectly clear that it was not.
