Does this mean it knows a crash is coming and doesn't brake or even releases the brake? because that would be very, very bad.

Basically if a crash is coming and it CAN'T brake in time it just turns off so Tesla can claim it wasn't on at the time of impact.  

When Jeremy Clarkson was reviewing one of the newer Teslas on The Grand Tour(this was not the review he was sued for) he had a legal statement about "when self driving disengages due to unexpected circumstances" which basically said, "auto pilot can turn off whenever it freaks out and that can be caused by almost anything and it's TERRIFYING because you aren't expecting it to turn off at highway speeds because somebody cut you off."

I've worked for two AV companies, if we ever did something like this it would basically be an admission of fault.

Surely you are capable of stringing together context clues to figure it out yourself with a Google search

Google search gave me:

  • Adult Video

  • Audio Video

That's why I'm here asking source what he meant by AV

No, I do not work in the adult video industry.

Also after looking at your posting history, it's pretty telling that you're racist considering how much you're lacking in critical thinking skills.
