This is a silly article. The numbers Tesla releases themselves say "we count any crash in which Autopilot was deactivated within 5 seconds before impact", so Autopilot aborting less than one second before a crash would still be counted as an Autopilot crash. (I think this happens because AEB takes over.) But sure, this should obviously be accounted for in some well-run government study.
