So the question then remains, can the autopilot disengage if it senses an imminent collision so that the manufacturers aren't held liable?
It certainly could, and wouldn't really surprise me tbh. Whether it does or not would need to be tested further as unfortunately I think Mark has pretty well destroyed his credibility with this.
It seems pretty clear there was at least two takes of hitting the wall, both times Autopilot was disengaged shortly before impact, and Mark wasn't honest about it.
