Is it really accurate to take the very limited and incomplete data of this self-driving feature and compare that to all of the world's accident rates? Think about the long tail here...
Have they even released this data for examination? I am thinking that many people have approached this feature with caution, in that its a novelty but they aren't "trusting" it or relying on it like you would a human driver to safely get you somewhere. It would be also interesting to see the types of roads and conditions where the feature is enabled. In the rain? Snow? At night? Poor visibility? Traffic conditions.
Just a single number paints an incomplete picture of the data. Why has no one mentioned this? People are sheep that are quick to declare victory after seeing a single number without questioning where or how that number came to be.
My thoughts are this: give this feature to your average Joe driving a Honda without much guidance and we'd have a lot more mechanized death.
Youtube is full of Tesla autopilot fail videos where the driver had to take quick action to avert disaster. What if we let this into the hands of a lot more irresponsible people who think they can tool down the highway watching a Harry Potter movie, blind faith and trust in a "feature". How many Tesla owners here would honestly trust the feature that much with their life at this point?
