Even if you completely write off the FSD, Tesla's safety scores are really good. The model 3 got 5 stars in every NHTSA category, and the lowest probability of injury of any vehicle they ever tested.

The Automatic emergency braking, Collision Avoidance, and Obstacle Aware Acceleration saved me countless times. Those are also all features that come standard with every car. Meanwhile, other manufacturers will charge money for advanced safety features. Even basic autopilot made my drive along windy Oregon roads with dense fog much safer. Autopilot also pretty much eliminates driver fatigue on long road trips.
