    It is giving control of the car to the driver without enough time for a human to react to anything. I understand why there’s nothing the autopilot can do but then blaming the driver for not fixing the situation in the 200ms they have is stupid.

      It’s a system that has full blame on the driver to beginwith so what exactly are you trying to say? Driver has blame the whole time. In the fraction of a second before impact, the automated system turns off as a safety precaution to reduce the impact as much as possible.

        No, it turns off to disregard legal blame. Everything that the autopilot is turning itself off for right before a crash, is something that not only can be done with the autopilot on, but the autopilot can do faster, safer and better than a human. For as much as counts at that point.
