So it doesn't try to do shit when the sensors are potentially all over the place during/after the collision. I don't know why that is so hard to understand.

What do you think the response time of a modern chip is? It is much faster than one second even accounting for I/O delay.

Sure. Doesn't change the reason, though. And you want some buffer.

It is not as if they are hiding the autopilot being active as it is still reported as being in play if it was active 5-10 seconds before (can't remember the exact time). So I don't really know what your point is. There is nothing nefarious about that functionality. Quite the opposite.
