    Do you want the autopilot to keep driving after a crash is detected? Turn off right before a crash is the only surefire way to make sure the fscking engine turns off before the crash which could cause control signals to get fubar and not disengage.

      It is giving control of the car to the driver without enough time for a human to react to anything. I understand why there’s nothing the autopilot can do but then blaming the driver for not fixing the situation in the 200ms they have is stupid.

        It’s a system that has full blame on the driver to beginwith so what exactly are you trying to say? Driver has blame the whole time. In the fraction of a second before impact, the automated system turns off as a safety precaution to reduce the impact as much as possible.

          No, it turns off to disregard legal blame. Everything that the autopilot is turning itself off for right before a crash, is something that not only can be done with the autopilot on, but the autopilot can do faster, safer and better than a human. For as much as counts at that point.
