None of the other subforums seem fitting, so I'll place it here.

First of all, be safe and I hope you'll never have any need to get a footage like that from your car!

We already discussed a bit of what data Tesla is collecting from all cars at all times here: Data sharing and privacy - what's actually collected?

Now by some luck I came into procession of two autopilot units from crashed cars (pretty old firmwares).

The one with 17.24.28 crashed on July 13, 2017. It was a fully loaded P100D with whopping almost 279 miles on the odometer VIN 1881XX, somewhere in Connecticut. Back then the "crash" snapshot only included 5 cameras: main, narrow, fishseye and pillars at 1fps only plus the candata snapshot. Does not look too much different from what we have seen on AP1 units (other than there are more cameras).

I used our tools to overlay candata on these frames and make a simple animated gif, I guess it was raining at the time of the accident which contributed some to the loss of traction (?):



The car was badly damaged as you can imagine:

The other one is 2016 a model S P100D or P90D that crashed on Oct 25, 2017 somewhere in Florida. VIN 1713XX.
It's a very puzzling crash, as it happened just ~1.5 minutes after the car was started and the driver lost traction on a narrow backroad hitting some trees at ~80mph after losing traction at 90mph doing a turn while trying to show off the acceleration speed or some such?

The video starts with the car at ~30mph and the accelerator fully pressed and the car keeps going until 90mph where the unfortunate turn seems to throw it off road. The car was already on 17.36 that started to incorporate gorgeous 30fps footage for narrow and main cams in addition to 1fps footage for 7 cams (every one but backup) + the can data, of course, so we can see what was going on in the last ~minute of this car's life.

See for yourself:

The damage to this car is also pretty insane and I am not sure why.

It also looks like this car was never connected to wifi so it accumulated quite a bit of other random footage including some carwash(?) footage with a Landrover in front of it in May 2017:

Needless to say you cannot get access to this data if you just use the Tesla-provided kit to pull just tiny bits of data from the blackbox Tesla releases new tool for people to retrieve ‘blackbox data’ after a crash - but the autopilot computer stores vastly more stuff.
