Once again an article with NO context. TACC and ebreaking are in MANY auto's. We get no data on the number of accidents and fatalities for cars 1) Driven by humans 2) Other systems of ebreaking For all we know, despite these 17 accidents, teslas may be far safer. For example, a quick google shows that there are 1.7 MILLION rear end collisions EACH YEAR in the US. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlock/wp/2015/06/08/there-are-about-1-7-million-rear-end-collisions-on-u-s-roads-each-year-heres-how-to-stop-them/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlock/wp/2015/06/0... Note that the 17 items discussed here with Tesla are over multiple years. So in the time teslas had these 17 crashes there were perhaps 3M+ rear end collisions alone? The sad reality is that the clickbait headlines sell, and any effort to actually look at data does not (on the web and more recently on HN). Folks just do not want to engage with an idea or with numbers, but the outrage (or downvote) button is usually close by :)
