> ignored the warnings for six seconds

There were never warnings at that time. Tesla just worded it like that to mislead people. It only talks about videos early in the drive.

I think the wording is pretty clear, but I think people didn't take the time to fully read the press release, just skimmed it.

This seems pretty clear:

"The driver had received several visual and one audible hands-on warning earlier in the drive and the driver’s hands were not detected on the wheel for six seconds prior to the collision."
