That's very true, but if you know your product well enough, and you perform well conducted experiments, you can come up with a good estimate for this without actually having your cars travel 100 billion miles.
- semi-extrinsic 10y agoSure. The main issue with that is the unknown unknowns. In hypothetical cars an order of magnitude safer than today, we're talking about events so rare that a single (hypothetical) accident which kills all 7 passengers due to the Tesla misinterpreting an obscure Hungarian road sign meaning "bridge out ahead" will significantly influence your safety statistics.
- xiphias 10y agoThere are enough youtube videos with people falling asleep in Tesla on the highway and a Tesla switching lanes and almost causing a frontal crash. These are known problems. Maybe a billion miles are needed for a fatal crash, but for small mistakes it's much less.
