Obviously a biased source, but Tesla's Q1 safety report[1] (released yesterday) reports this:
>In the 1st quarter, we registered one accident for every 4.19 million miles driven in which drivers had Autopilot engaged. For those driving without Autopilot but with our active safety features, we registered one accident for every 2.05 million miles driven. For those driving without Autopilot and without our active safety features, we registered one accident for every 978 thousand miles driven. By comparison, NHTSA’s most recent data shows that in the United States there is an automobile crash every 484,000 miles.

- heavyset_go 6y agoArs addresses Tesla's misleading safety reporting here[1]. [1] https://arstechnica.com/cars/2018/05/sorry-elon-musk-theres-no-clear-evidence-autopilot-saves-lives/?comments=1 https://arstechnica.com/cars/2018/05/sorry-elon-musk-theres-...
- threevox 6y agoThis article doesn't say anything substantive, just points out that Autopilot is technically a group of different safety features and says that Ars couldn't find any "industry experts" to opine that Tesla's findings are true. Very poor non-technical purely qualitative writing here
