everything about the story suggests you were not paying attention to road conditions. Even with driving aids activated, the driver is solely responsible for the car. modern cars, especially with safety features are all electronic. The steering wheel, pedals and nearly every car has driver awareness fitted to alert you if your eyes stray from the road ahead. These electronic safety features are all recorded, very much like a ‘Black box’ on planes you only have to look at ‘Dashcam Lunatic’ on YT to see how vehicles go out of control. It is always driver initiated. Sometimes its carpets, but is a fraction of a % americans sue everybody for everything, there will be very many instances where a car took over and caused a crash. Any car, any make, you will find them in america
