    The autopilot is a drive assist , I can explain that there are less accidents when drive assists is one because - the driver is still present and will most of the time intervene and save his life(there are some youtube videos where the Tesla AI was trying to kill the driver and those incidents don't appear as accidents int the stats) - "autopilot" is engaged mostly on highways , but the statistics are not accounting for this - they are also comparing the safety of a new car versus the median of all cars(old and new, cheap or expensive) on all demographics(how many teens own a Tesla?) I would like that Tesla make all the data open or have an independent group analyze it, including the disengagements, I wonder how isolated are the cases where the car is driving you into trucks or stone wall but the drivers intervened and saved themselves and also saved Tesla from a bad statistic.

    Which is entirely cherry picked and optimistic. Autopilot has the luxury of being able to / requiring disengagement in less-than-favorable driving conditions. Humans don't. A fair comparison would be comparing against the miles/conditions/roads driven.
