> Autopilot disengaged about 40 seconds prior to impact due to the Tesla issuing a Forward Collision Warning (FCW) chime
Here's a reckless driver in a Tesla assuming AP could handle unsafe speeds on their behalf.
Once again AP is not the one to blame but... a driver tries to use it as a crutch and it disengages due to the FCW.
Due to the complete lack of input from the driver, many suspect the driver didn't realize AP would be disengaged by the FCW, and while AP disengaging would have given an alert, it'd be at the same time as the multiple FCW alerts they got.
So just like the DUI, the safety features would have worked *better* without AP. If they had been driving without AP they would have not have expected a now-disabled feature to respond to the FCW for them...

Seems like you didn't realize this was the case either with FCW and AP, so you're welcome....
Ps: My Model S test drive (remember those) was not going so hot when the headliner started peeling off the demo car, but then went cold when the not-a-salesperson panicked when I didn't disable AP fast enough (since we were approaching a section of lane markers in their test circuit where it was known to veer towards barriers)
I'm pretty familiar with Teslas though, I was a huge fan until gestures to everything from AP marketing to silent CPO->used change, etc.
Pps: Please don't go and try this on a public road to prove an internet stranger wrong.
You already admitted to trying to test ELKA (which won't intervene until things are going seriously wrong.)
You're not going to be able to test a FCW with AP without doing something silly...
