So it's a tossup: either Autopilot will save you or kill you.

  There have been six deaths while Tesla drivers were using Autopilot. Flesh eating bacteria infections from manicure stations have killed more people. HNs obsession with Autopilot deaths is ridiculous. https://www.tesladeaths.com/ https://www.tesladeaths.com/

    Is that true though? Roughly 200 people gets infection from flesh eating bacterias in USA every year but I never heard anyone dying after getting it from manicure station. https://www.healthline.com/health-news/do-you-need-to-worry-about-flesh-eating-bacteria https://www.healthline.com/health-news/do-you-need-to-worry-...

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necrotizing_fasciitis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necrotizing_fasciitis Mortality rate is 20%-40%, climbing with delay in treatment. In my above comment, I note that Autopilot has been involved in six deaths total, which is extremely low compared to other causes of death over the same number of years it’s been available to drivers. Another example is E Coli from contaminated lettuce has killed the same number of people (and sickened thousands more) than Autopilot use over a similar amount of time. Sharks kill 50~ people per year.

  The Earth will explode or not in the next second, it doesn't mean they're equally likely.
