Last month, I wrote this article comparing Tesla's Q3 2021 accident data with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) report Early Estimate of Motor Vehicle Traffic Fatalities for the First Half (January-June) of 2021.
1 accident for every 4.19 million miles driven with Autopilot engaged.
1 accident for every 2.05 million miles without Autopilot but with Tesla’s active safety features engaged.1 accident for every 4.41 million miles driven with Autopilot engaged.1 accident for every 4.97 million miles driven with Autopilot engaged.1 accident for every 4.31 million miles driven with Autopilot engaged.The data, in my opinion, speaks for itself. It reflects Tesla’s focus on safety as its primary objective and shows that Autopilot is clearly safe to use.
*Editor’s note: There are some reasons why these comparisons are not very scientifically sound. For one, Autopilot is used in places/situations where driving is safer. You can’t actually turn it on in places/situations where driving is more dangerous. Additionally, it is a costly feature that is inherently going to be bought and used by people with more money, which is also a factor determining where people live, what road conditions are like in their area, and when and where they drive.
