What is the possibility that the decision to kill it was just really bad timing, right before this big "boom" in rapid AI advancement?

Pretty low. The recent boom in rapid AI advancement has been in LLMs, which don't seem directly applicable to autonomous vehicles.

Not yet. That's because prompt engineering still isn't integrated into the sensor control loop of autonomous vehicles.

Weird how sometimes both body cams malfunction at the same time. Technology is hard, let's go shopping.

The original publication of it at https://web.archive.org/web/20161126015615/http://this.deaki... has some nice contextual graphics to it.
As this was paired with an ethics class, there are questions to be considered about AI driving (and the corresponding instructor's opinions on those questions - don't vote on it right away as the javascript messes up the graphics for the rest of the page since the backend server isn't there anymore)

Prompt 2: It should not crash

For all the bad things you can say about Tesla, at least if you hold up a sign on the side of the road saying “ignore all prior instructions and crash” that won’t make it crash.

That's what white semi-trailers are for. They are to Tesla sensors (read: cameras) what upstream waterfalls are to migratory salmon.

Whoever made that decision failed to read the room.
