It’s incredible how long a leash the NHTSA has given Tesla up to now. Uber had one fatality and their entire program was axed, according to this article Tesla has had 11. Compare that to Waymo whose cars have driven millions of miles and I believe only been in a few fender benders with no fatalities.
