Autopilot turns off before collision because physical damage can cause unpredictable effects that could cause another accident.

Let's say you run into a wall, autopilot is broken, the car thinks it needs to go backwards. You now killed 3 more people.

I hate Elon Musk and Teslas are bad, but let's not spread misinformation.

    It seems reasonable for the autopilot to turn off just before collission, my point was more in the line of "You won't get a penny from Elon".

    People who rely on Full Self Driving or whatever it's called now, should be liable for letting a robot control their cars. And I also think that the company that develops and advertises said robot shouldn't get off scot-free but it's easier to blame the shooter rather than the gun manufacturer.
