This is outrageously misleading. The autopilot will disengage when it gets extremely confused. It's likely to get extremely confused when faced with a situation of an impending collision. So if you look at a bunch of crashes, you'll find a lot where the AP quit right before. That doesn't say anything about which party was at fault, it's just the way the software is going to work. And the other side of the argument, that somehow this was somehow intentionally done to avoid culpability in reporting, is just plain wrong per Tesla's own data. Read the methodology section at https://www.tesla.com/VehicleSafetyReport https://www.tesla.com/VehicleSafetyReport > [...] To ensure our statistics are conservative, we count any crash in which Autopilot was deactivated within 5 seconds before impact [...] So the "less than a second" bit is just a lie, unless there's some other report being cited that uses different methodology. Someone is spinning.
