Seems as valid (and invalid) as the implied conclusion here:
> This is the first known fatality in just over 130 million miles where Autopilot was activated. Among all vehicles in the US, there is a fatality every 94 million miles. Worldwide, there is a fatality approximately every 60 million miles.
Fair enough. I think the framing matters a bit though.
"4 Times Deadlier!" certainly comes across as sensationalist based on such flimsy data (never mind that the real figure is actually 3.2 and the parent chose to round up rather than down to serve his/her purpose).
Whereas Tesla's statement comes across more as a statement of fact (albiet quite self-serving.. no question about that).
How you can draw such a conclusion from a singular data point? That's beyond ridiculous.
