Tesla publishes their safety data quarterly no need for your many assumptions and speculations - Teslas are already much safer than the average driver, especially when autopilot is on https://www.tesla.com/VehicleSafetyReport https://www.tesla.com/VehicleSafetyReport

One interesting bit from a different 3rd party study: > Cambridge Mobile Telematics also found that people driving Teslas were 21% less likely to engage in distracted driving with their phone in their Tesla compared to when they drove their other car. Maybe the software integration helps avoid this? Lots of other cars have much more complicated interfaces to hook up calls and reading texts. My mom struggled to figure out her car even supported Android Auto. It might just be it's a higher end car, but they didn't see it for an EV Porsche > These findings include an analysis of Tesla drivers who also operate another vehicle. These drivers are nearly 50% less likely to crash while driving their Tesla than any other vehicle they operate. We conducted the same analysis on individuals who operate a Porsche and another vehicle. In this case, we observed the opposite effect. Porsche drivers are 55% more likely to crash while driving their Porsche compared to their other vehicle. The reduction in speed is likely influenced by automated driving, especially considering how fast a Tesla car can accelerate vs normal cars: > They were 9% less likely to drive above the speed limit. https://electrek.co/2022/05/27/tesla-owners-less-likely-crash-than-their-other-cars/ https://electrek.co/2022/05/27/tesla-owners-less-likely-cras...

  > Maybe the software integration helps avoid this? With auto pilot on the car is watching you. If you take eyes off the road it issues more pay attention nags. Failure to comply removes FSD Beta. So you have a feedback loop where paying attention becomes more important then your phone.

Autopilot is not FSD, this report is clearly about Autopilot, they haven't mentioned anything about FSD in it.

  FSD is an extension of the autopilot capability and the autopilot capability has proven extremely safe. As soon as there is statistically enough data they will release FSD numbers too but that means tens of millions of miles logged on roads since crashes are generally uncommon

Is autopilot available for all roads? If not, that’s a significant and unstated statistical bias in this data. To have a true comparison, you will need to include only human accidents on roads where Teslas can use autopilot.
