Tesla does not provide government regulators or research organizations access to the raw data on Autopilot or FSD usage. Despite their claims that FSD is a autonomous vehicle system in beta testing with a safety driver, they deliberately under-classify it to the California DMV to bypass [1] the mandatory reporting requirements for autonomous vehicles under test with a safety driver [2]. As such, they have intentionally made it impossible for any untainted safety analysis to occur.
As the default assumption when dealing with safety-critical systems is that they are unsafe and the explicit burden of proof is on manufacturer to prove safety, we must assume that it is unsafe. In addition, as no untainted safety analysis can occur at this time, any comparison against alternatives is impossible until they stop blocking audits of their usage data. The only thing we can state for certain is that it is unsafe for any usage by customers since no untainted proof of safety has been produced.
