- foobiekr 7y agoSince Tesla has never released the data for that claim, taking it at face value seems pretty iffy given other claims by the company.

- FireBeyond 7y agoIn conditions suitable for Autopilot in the first place. Autopilot is most often turned off when things get 'messy', a luxury humans don't have, and that Tesla often "neglects" to mention when they're preening over this sound bite.
- rainyMammoth 7y agothose are bullshit stats. They compare overall crashes in all kind of normal highway environment and all kind of drivers and vehicles with the very selective places where the Tesla users decided to enable autopilot. Tesla users are also more educated and have better vehicles which has been shown to reduce the comparative crash rate by a lot. We don't have data to compare but if I had to take a wild guess on crash rates I am pretty convinced that Tesla crashes more than the equivalent driver on the same stretch of highway as of today.
