USA drives 3.225 trillion miles per year, and kills 38000 people, that's about 1 death per 100 million miles. According to the anti Tesla site above, Tesla cars kill 1 person per 200 million miles. That's not accounting for deaths from pollution though
- aaomidi 5y agoThat's....honestly bad.
- dekhn 5y ago1 death in 100 million miles driven? that's amazingly good!
- simion314 5y agoIt is easy to use statistics bad. For example you can compare all kind of drivers vs Tesla drivers , you don't have teens driving Teslas so stats are not the same. You can compare all cars vs Tesla and you still have bad stats since Tesla are new and expensive cars, you can't compare with old cheap cars. You can compare autopilot vs human drivers and is still bad stats because most of autopilot miles are on good conditions on big hihgways so you would need to compare on the exact same roads. TL:DR you need stats for the similar driver population, similar car prices and age and drive assist, similar roads. The TFA asks for more transparency so we would get more data and maybe we get better stats or more bad statistics, that we need to debug.
- mavhc 5y agoDo all the other car companies provide those stats?
- dasbo 5y agoThey do not sell a self-drivibg feature
- simion314 5y agoNo because: 1 they are not alpha/beta testing on public roads 2 not all cars track you, my brother Ford won't call to the homebase with crash info when he hit a dog.
- mavhc 5y agoSo what's the relevance of the site, that's for non self driving Teslas. Why would the model/price/class of the car affect the crash rate of a self driving car?
