Sounds like he either committed suicide or was unconscious/disabled before the accident.
An autopilot shouldn't just hand over control to the driver and pray when it needs help and the driver is unresponsive; it should try to come to a stop on the side of the road, then shout for help. Shouting via a cell call to 911 (or country-specific equivalent) wouldn't be a bad idea.
"This is a Tesla P85. My driver is unresponsive. The car is stopped on I-95 southbound, 2.1 miles south of exit 4 past I-295. The car is red. Please send help. This message will repeat three times."
