    I guess accidents per thousand/million cars on road would be more representative.

    Think of it like this, if ~70% of all autonomous driving cars were Teslas, and they have a ~70% contribution to the accident volume, then they’re as bad as the competition.

    I’m not saying Tesla’s auto pilot doesn’t have problems, but this particular metric is not the best one to say how it is compared to the competition.

    Personal opinion: No manufacturer has an auto pilot capable enough to be on the road.

      Another point that rarely seems to be accounted for is what type of miles are being used for comparison.

      Aggregate autopilot crash rates may look good compared to non-autopilot rates, but if autopilot cannot be used in inclement weather, challenging roads, or other risky situations, then the statistic is misleading. (Statistics??? Misleading??? Well, I never…)
