Model 3 totaled in accident

I agree. But on the other hand, autopilot malfunctions have led to many fatal airplane crashes when pilots have taken all of the emergency procedures. In this situation I just want to know If autopilot initiated an evasive measure that caused her to unknowingly disengage autopilot or if it was on for the whole duration of the accident and why it reacted the way it did.

What aircraft crashes are you referring to? Nothing comes to mind.

I tested the same and AS kept steering around a curve. And I have a video somewhere of it. It most definitely did NOT disengage after a long persistent red hand alarm. (I was testing in safe conditions -- in Mexico)

People usually think AS has disengaged and stopped all steering control when the red hands go up, but I could not create that -- it definitely kept steering.

And I saw it disengage one one occasion. Maybe it was a firmware version bug but I still saw it. Dont remember what version it was.
