His story for one. Grant caught him lying and called him out. Kyle's lack of integrity doesn't surface until he goes in front of reporters and gives a completely different rendition from his original story of what actually occured. The cover up backfired so of course he came forward. If Kyle hit a tree instead of another car I doubt anyone would've cared including the police
Grant found a public record and Kyle set it straight. Pretty much immediately. How was it Kyle lying when he had made no public statement to anyone about what happened before then?
No he called reporters that cover the team to a private group meeting in his office a week ago and gave a tearful, remorseful explanation. Then yesterday at his presser he gave a completely different story and blamed the auto pilot device in his Tesla. I mean I'm no detective but Kyle has an issue with accountability. He took a bad look and somehow made it worse by opening his mouth
No. He didn't. He stated it was his fault for looking away on both meetings. He stated the autopilot was on in both meetings. In the latest press conference he stated he's not sure if he accidentally turned the autopilot off or not when he looked away to get his phone.
In neither statement did he blame the autopilot.

Are you mad at yourself for getting in the situation?
"Yeah. I mean, anytime you cause an accident that can be avoided, you'd feel pretty stupid. Especially when you have a chance to hurt someone else. You get mad when you get a ticket at yourself, so it's kind of the same. I think everyone's done, to a degree, what I've done. Dropping a phone, it falling all the way to my back seat to where I have to fully take my eyes off the road. It's something that I normally wouldn't do. I've had autopilot for nine years, so I'm pretty comfortable with it. Who knows what happened when I turned around. Whether it malfunctioned or whether I knocked it off, that's something I don't know yet. But regardless, it is always your fault, whether you're on autopilot or not. You can't take your eyes off the road. It's a partnership driving. You don't just turn it over to a computer. It's a good lesson, no matter how comfortable I am with that, that I believe someday could save my life or someone else's. It's really helped me have perspective on that stuff."

How anyone could watch or read that recent press conference and conclude he was blaming the autopilot and changing his story is beyond me. It's simply not what he said.
Grant posted a video on YouTube about an hour ago regarding the inconsistencies in Kyle's story. I tend to believe Grant over your opinion. No offence but Grant was in his office a week ago when Kyle called the meeting and was also at the press conference yesterday. He does this stuff for a living. I think people can come up with their own conclusions
I'll fall on this sword to say what everyone else thinks:
You're a f**king r****d.
