I couldn't find much on this, but I did find this: https://getjerry.com/questions/how-many-fatalities-have-been-due-to-self-driving-vehicles https://getjerry.c

  You'll have to forgive me for not taking an insurance company's uncited number at face value. > Stats estimate that per million miles driven, there are 9.1 self-driving car accidents, whereas there are only 4.1 crashes per million miles driven with human-operated vehicles. What stats? Where are these stats? Also the type/severity of accident matters here as well which further muddies the water. All that said I'm not willing to accept the status quo just because the new tech has caused a few deaths (5 according to the link you provided) since the status quo is 30-40K/year [0]. Obviously the important stat is a per-capita-type number that gives us "deaths per car of a given automation level, 0-5". [0] https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/813053 https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/...

    I agree that source is lacking. I did find this though, and it says "Verified Tesla Autopilot Death" are at 15 now, but the total deaths from Tesla involved crashes are at 290 since 2013. So you may be more likely to die from being smacked by a Tesla than being in one using their autopilot feature: https://www.tesladeaths.com/ https://www.tesladeaths.com/
