The first thing that jumps out at me about that number is that it doesn't appear to account for the type of road.
If I had to guess most people driving down the highway use "Autopilot" while less use it in city driving. Since the highway is safer this likely skews the numbers significantly. Basically the situations where "Autopilot" may be used and is used is likely already situations where accidents are less likely.

But that, to me, doesn't change the fact that the currently released metric is still absolutely necessary to report in any news article, with all of its caveats.
