He did state that he hit the brakes. Just on the fog one, not the wall. ๐คท
But the fact that FSD disengages 17 frames before the crash also implies the software, along with the car, crashed ๐ Iโd love to see the logs. I imagine the software got real confused real quick.
This is likely what happened. The software hit an invalid state that defaulted to disengaging the autopilot feature. Likely hit an impossible state as the camera could no longer piece the "wall" parts of the road with the actual road as it got too close.
Likely an error condition occured that would happen in the same way if an object suddenly covered the camera while driving. It would be even more concerning if the autopilot DIDN'T disengage at that point.
