The Implications of Full Self-Driving on Insurance
- AndrewBissell 7y ago> This is important because Autopilot has proven itself to be safer than a human driver by a significant degree: a crash only occurs with Autopilot engaged approximately every 2.87 million miles, as opposed to traditional cars being manually driven which results in a crash every 436,000 miles.
