what about this one? https://youtu.be/V2u3dcH2VGM

I don't know anything about self driving, but I can't imagine why it would turn off right before a crash instead of keeping the breaks held

(also I know the drivers is a total idiot and it's 100% their fault, I just want to know why it turned off)

    My guess is that Automatic Emergency Breaking (AEB) is a separate feature from autopilot.

    AEB is something that is always on and watching even if AP/FSD is off, but it's only intended (originally anyway) to turn on when a crash is imminent to slow forces, not prevent a crash. So my guess is AP fails to detect the cop car as radar couldn't see it, vision finally sees it tries to brake but it's too late, AEB detects a crash is inevitable and kicks in which turns AP off.

    It'd actually be nice if we got a straight answer from Tesla as to why it happens this way. This would have been reported as ON as it was within 5 seconds, and obviously NHSTA was investigating it as ON.
