Tesla on autopilot/FSD is almost 4 times less likely to be involved in a crash than a human driven Tesla which even then is half as likely to end up in a accident compared to average car. You not liking Musk fortunelately doesn't change these facts.

In the 2nd quarter, we recorded one crash for every 4.41 million miles driven in which drivers were using Autopilot technology (Autosteer and active safety features). For drivers who were not using Autopilot technology (no Autosteer and active safety features), we recorded one crash for every 1.2 million miles driven. By comparison, NHTSA’s most recent data shows that in the United States there is an automobile crash every 484,000 miles.

So Tesla says. There is no independent verification of this data. It could all be bullshit.

Perhaps. I'm sure you'll provide me with the independent data you're basing that "Teslas are not safe" claim on

So you take Tesla's word and believe it, but ask for proof for the contrary?

You're just a hypocrite.
