"activating auto steer increased crash rate by 50%"
Tesla safety stats are ok when compared to the average car on the road. But that's because they are expensive, high quality cars driven by middle aged people. It's the safest car demographic on the road. When comparing auto drive teslas to equivalent luxury cars they look terrible. Though i think if you ignore the autodrive they're perfectly good cars.
- the8472 7y agoTesla is only one of several players in the game. Waymo is generally considered to be better and safer at the moment.
- donkeyd 7y agoWaymo is only better in a very well-known and predictable setting. You can't pick it up and deploy it instantly. It's geofenced to a small part of a US city.
- bananabreakfast 7y agoWrong interpretation. They are absolutely not "less safe", because they are all human driven cars. Why not say the rest of your argument with the fact that cruise control made cars "less safe than human driven cars" because people fell asleep at the wheel and drifted off the road.
