Tesla's more or less take over on the freeway. They are also on their way to mastering traffic lights.

Yeah, that's a little weird.

Tesla's are the safest cars on the road now.
- kbenson 7y ago> Tesla's are the safest cars on the road now. Eh, I imagine that depends on how actively you use the autopilot and auto unpark features. I know they don't want to cede the frontrunner status of that technology, but it still feels like a risky gambit for tesla and for its customers.
- joshualross 7y agoThe IIHS rates TM3 it's top tier aware of Top Safety Pick+ which is a higher rating than the Bolt (noted in the article)[0]. This doesn't factor in autopilot although it does evaluate collision avoidance systems, which must rate advanced to superior.

- CPLX 7y ago> They are also on their way to mastering traffic lights. Sure and I’m on my way to mastering Russian Roulette. Until I actually get there though you might not want to sell me life insurance. There are some things where being “on the way” to mastery is worse than nothing, and propelling a two ton object at a red light is one of those things.
- xkjkls 7y agoWhat statistic says that Tesla’s are the safest cars on the road right now? Based on death statistics for vehicles of their age and class they generally are about 2x worse.
