For comparison, that is 1.391 fatalities per 130M automobile miles. So 0.391 people were saved by Tesla, but that doesn't account for the fact that this is a new, eerie technology and that people are possibly using it in the safest of conditions until they get comfortable with it. Also is the average Tesla driver really representative of the overall population, i.e. would Tesla drivers have had that many crashes without Autopilot? How much of that 0.391 is due to the safety features of the car itself, and not the success of the autopilot system?
At any rate, there isn't much room for error in those numbers, and considering the above this almost looks like evidence that Autopilot is less safe than normal driving.
