On an absolute basis, Tesla has more self-driving-related deaths than every other automaker in the world, combined. That doesn't scare you?
On a relative basis, it's even scarier: scaled up to Toyota or GM numbers (in terms of vehicles sold), hundreds of people would be dying each year from self-driving crashes.
- randomchars 5y agoBut aren’t 10s of thousands of people dying from self-driving crashes?
- bryanlarsen 5y agoThat sounds a lot better than the tens of thousands that die with humans at the wheel.
- emodendroket 5y agoNot if you start comparing against miles driven it doesn't.
- mavhc 5y agoSo far FSD beta has killed 0 people, and other FSD software has killed 1 person. So they seem to be ahead.

- radicalbyte 5y agoA few hundred people have died on a 5km stretch of road near me in the last couple of years. None of them driving Teslas. Most of them drunk or driving far too fast (50km/h is safe, people often drive 150km/h because shortcut and the stretch literally drives like a race course).
