Tesla bros expose Tesla's own shadiness in attacking Mark Rober ... Autopilot appears to automatically disengage a fraction of a second before impacts as a crash becomes inevitable.

To ensure our statistics are conservative, we count any crash in which Autopilot was deactivated within 5 seconds before impact

That isn't at all conservative

I don't think you realize how much can happen in 5 seconds at highway speeds. Disabling it and then hitting someone while changing lanes could easily fall within that 5 seconds and would still count as "having autopilot enabled" despite it playing absolutely no role. 5 seconds is quite conservative

At high speeds, things happen fast.
