    No, they just relinquish control to a sleepy driver without a warning whenever they are about to crash.

      We aren’t at the point yet — with any self-drive car — where you should be behind the wheel unless you’re absolutely capable of taking over in seconds.

      If you are referring to autopilot, yeah, technically it does that - it turns off once it realises it can’t do anything anymore to avoid the collision so that it doesn’t speed off afterwards due to damaged sensor or glitches etc. But the whole “autopilot turns off so it doesn’t show in statistics” was a blatant lie as Tesla counts all crashes where it has been on before the crash.
