"And yet, I drive with Tesla Autopilot every day. Why?"
I think we generally agree on our understanding.
See my other answer:
As I said, whatever the reason, there are fewer accidents with Autopilot, than without. Autopilot is a convenience feature.
The question is: Are you willing to accept only 33% less likely hood of an accident with autopilot engaged as compared to when you drive on your own in not Autopilot safe conditions?

"My real suspicion is that self driving cars without human supervision are 50-100x worse than humans."
Yes, Waymo in their fully mapped safe heaven may be around that.
Teslas in cities are probably more like 1000-100000x worse than humans, I don't think they would be able to drive even 100km in random city traffic, like a taxi, without an accident. They would probably be super eager to get rid of the steering wheel if they would think that Teslas are better unequivocally, all the time, no matter the conditions. Maybe the next iteration will improve it 10 times, but they are a long way from self-driving taxis.
- jmpman 7y agoI believe that the select miles I drive with autopilot are the only miles which are actually safer than me driving.
