It's 5 seconds, not 30 seconds. From Tesla safety report [1]:
> To ensure our statistics are conservative, we count any crash in which Autopilot was deactivated within 5 seconds before impact, and we count all crashes in which the incident alert indicated an airbag or other active restraint deployed.

- bradfa 4y agoThe article states: "The NHTSA order required manufacturers to disclose crashes where the software was in use within 30 seconds of the crash, in part to mitigate the concern that manufacturers would hide crashes by claiming the software wasn’t in use at the time of the impact."
- ra7 4y agoAh, thanks for clarifying. I thought you referred to Tesla's counting methodology.
