Musk: Tesla’s Autopilot lowers probability of having an accident by 50%
- SlipperySlope 11y agoMusk said ... “The probability of having an accident is 50% lower if you have Autopilot on. Even with our first version. So we can see basically what’s the average number of kilometers to an accident – accident defined by airbag deployment. Even with this early version, it’s almost twice as good as a person.”

- burgreblast 11y agoWhen do people drive with Autopilot on? When the probability of accidents is lowest. The average number of kilometers per accident isn't the same across all kilometers driven; accident rate per kilometer is highly dependant on environment which this data does not evaluate.
