Tesla using Autopilot technology experienced one accident per 7.63M miles
- croes 2y agoUseless metric if the driver decides when to use it. People drive on all roads, in all road and weather conditions.
- taylodl 2y agoOh, so Tesla is now prepared to shoulder the full legal burden and financial liabilities of Autopilot?
- beardyw 2y agoThat is with the driver paying attention and ready to take over. That means two systems are in place rather than one. Of course those results will be good. Full self driving may give results which are better or worse.
- micahdeath 2y agoi wonder how many accidents get logged versus how many occur?
- reify 2y agoSuper duper safe then. My mum lives about 130 miles from me. how can I visit her if I am likely to have 17.03800786369594 crashes. Is this crashing into other cars or mowing down innocent pedestrians? The tesla test crash dummy car
- symbolicAGI 2y agoYou are not likely to have 17.03800786369594 crashes if your Tesla is driven on autopilot for 130 miles. The M suffix on 7.63 indicates million. 130 miles / 7630000 = 0.000017038 expected accidents while driving on Autopilot to your Mum's. You would have to make 58692.334781078 such trips before an expected accident. Suppose each trip takes 3 hours. That is 20.100114651 years of continuous driving. Probably you would not have an expected accident visiting your mum even if driving that trip was your sole activity.
