That doesn't sound like something that has been extensively studied -- it's strange to me how Tesla keeps citing [0] miles driven by "vehicles equipped with Autopilot hardware", as if it couldn't estimate the subset of miles in which Autopilot was activated -- and it seems like something very hard to measure anyway. How can Tesla or the driver know whether an accident was bound to happen if the accident was prevented?
However, I would think that testing Autopilot-alone seems impractical. It's been asserted that AP has no ability to react to or even detect stationary objects in front of it. Can't we assume that in all those cases, non-driver intervention would result in a crash?
