  Those stats have always seemed game. At the basic level "autopilot technology" is a wide grouping of various marketing wank Tesla invented. Is it or is it not FSD? Because for the longest time it was just driver assistance tech that everyone else has in different forms. Shit, my Civic can self drive just fine using radar cruise control (it even handles merging vehicles) and lane keep. The US average passenger vehicle age is also 13 years. This puts _many_ existing vehicles on the road outside the range of modern driver assistance equipment which of course would affect this chart.

    The chart should show like "miles driven with cruise control enabled" and "miles driven with <mild assist> cruise control enabled" (e.g. radar / laser / automatic, lane assist, etc." for all brands of vehicles.

    You can also get independent data. For example what drivers have to pay for (liability) ensurance based on make and model. The rating system in Germany puts a Model 3 at rating 20 (out of 10-24, where 10 is lowest cost for insurance) this is much worse than many older cars without any assited driving. For example my 10 year old Ford was on 17, my current VW (which has a lot of assisted driving features) is at 16. Of course it is not only the car safety, it is also influenced by the average driver behavior. But it seems in general Tesla isn't doing great when you look at such independent data.
