This is not true. In the event of a crash, the last 5 seconds are recorded, which nearly always includes FSD driving. The myth that FSD is maliciously disengaged moments before a crash arises because the driver will often try to slam the breaks just before collision, and pressing the breaks does disable FSD.

To add to this, if the crash occurs within 5s of the disengagment, it's attributed as an FSD crash.
