No, she is saying you shouldn’t just count the miles where autopilot is turned on. Her reasoning is that you can’t compare autopilot-on miles to regular cars because there is no comparable data for regular cars.
That might be acceptable if you compared Tesla autopilot capable cars to other luxury cars, where the only significant difference in safety is autopilot.
But that wouldn’t account for things like: maybe certain Tesla safety features save a lot of lives but get canceled out by a very dangerous autopilot.
And she doesn’t compare to similar cars.

This is the comparison they should have done. Comparing with just the national average includes all the poorly maintained 20-year-old beaters being driven by teenagers.
