To drive home the point about how unsafe Tesla' Autopilot is, Nissan has sold more than 560,000 vehicles with an L2 system...and had zero reportable accidents, which makes Tesla infinitely more dangerous than a Nissan.
Even viewing the data in the light most charitable for Tesla, Autopilot is 3x more dangerous than the next most dangerous L2 system, and 54x more dangerous than the companies that sell the most vehicles in the world.
Also, FSD is not an L3 system. It's an L2 system, so Tesla should not have any data in the L3-L5 section.
EDIT: Ars notes that Tesla's 273 crashes are only for the past year, since the NHTSA required automakers to report crashes, but the numbers for all other automakers are total numbers (meaning, since they started selling L2 systems). This makes the Tesla data even worse.
- LightG 4y agoExactly. Im not sure how the Cult can justify this. I get that Tesla are aspiring to lofty goals, but if your L1000 system (which is called L2 due to the need for driver supervision) can't compete with an L2 Nissan.... you may as well pack up and go home. Tesla should have just stuck to what they're fantastic at. Driving the cultural and technological adoption of electric vehicles. Anything else, from FSD to basic build quality is something I wouldn't touch with your barge pole. And that's even before considering its man-child branding problem.
