    The true comparison is in miles per accident. Fatal accidents will be higher for older model cars. Not all Tesla cars have FSD. In many situations FSD is not available even on equipped cars. There is nothing to indicate from the current data that Telsa FSD is safer or more dangerous than the median driver.

      This isn’t necessarily true either. The NHTSA Standing General Order data shows that Tesla reports a large number of crashes (which they get to cherry pick in a LOT of cases) under ADAS use compared to other brands. Taking conservative rollout numbers from companies like Honda shows that the crash per ADAS equipped vehicle rate is significantly higher.

      The real red flag in all all of this is that Tesla’s own reported marketing numbers for ADAS crashes wasn’t declining with newer releases over time. A rate that doesn’t improve as the CEO claims the software is already performing better than humans should instantly discredit the software, its performance, and any claims about new or improving features.

      Let’s see it, show me the numbers! Everyone’s critiquing my quick mental math but I don’t see anyone contributing to fix it 🤷‍♀️. Will edit comment once I do!
