The NHTSA is full of smart people. They know that a Tesla in self-driving mode is safer than when driven by flesh and bones. Data proves it. We have millions of hours of self-driving Teslas and only one fatal accident.
Therefore I predict that this accident (and other future ones) will not significantly slow down the development, and adoption of self-driving cars...

- thesimon 10y ago>Data proves it. [citation needed] Tesla press release says this is the first accident in 130 million miles, whereas other vehicles had an accident every 94 million miles. But that includes old cars, old drivers, drunk drivers etc. Doesn't seem that much safer
