More or less Tesla’s autopilot is not as safe as Tesla would have you believe.

    I don’t think this is a fair comparison since an Autopilot crash is a 2 stage failure: the Autopilot and then the driver both failed to avoid the crash. The statistics do not include the incidents where Autopilot would have crashed but the human took control and prevented it. If all instances of human intervention were included, I doubt Autopilot would be ahead.

      Why would you interpret non-crashes due to human intervention as crashes? If you’re doing that for autopilot non-crashes you’ve gotta be consistent and also do that for non-autopilot non-crashes, which is basically…all of them.
