It sounds like ADAS is a term of art from a particular regulation. Do you know if it would only cover things that include at least autosteer or does even a basic radar based cruise control count?

This dataset for crashes in question is about the NHTSA ADAS crash data. For a while the reporting criteria was Level 1 and 2, these days its just Level 2 and above. Level 2 is adaptive cruise control + lane assist. Every Honda Accord sold today meets this standard. Tesla sold ~405,000 cars last year, far more than any other year in their history. Honda sold ~157k Accords in 2022, all with SAE Level 2 standard. Honda alone moved almost 39% of the same volume of Level 2 cars with a single one of their products and have been selling these features for quite a while. Add in all the other auto makers selling cars with Level 2 and there's more likely way more non-Teslas with SAE Level 2 autonomy on the roads than there are Teslas. I actually figured it would have been a bit bigger of a lead for Tesla, but showing that figure about Accords really made me doubt that Tesla leads in all ADAS SAE Level 2 miles traveled. Also, FWIW "advanced driver assistance system" (ADAS) is definitely a term of art which applies to a ton of technologies. Those technologies include radar-based adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance systems, advanced traction control systems, traffic sign recognition, and other technologies. The first Taurus with adaptive cruise control would be considered an SAE Level 1 autonomous car with its advanced driver assistance system. So even a car with just emergency braking technologies but otherwise an SAE Level 0 would be considered as a car with ADAS on board, even though it might only has the ultra basic cruise control.
