What stats are you referring to? I think he's talking about the flavor of 'auto pilot' in Tesla cars that isn't the supposed to be the same as 'self driving' of waymo and the like. If there are stats about this it would be interesting to see, you may be right but I think I would be nervous too about something that can do almost everything but at any moment I have to wrestle control of the wheel, it would basically make me just want to drive myself so I don't have to be nervous about it and watch out for the moment something seems it may go wrong.
Can you quantify this statement? All of the statistics suggest that it is in the same ballpark of safety as fully manual driving.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but don't you think we should look at what the actual data says about autopilot safety (including for the various flavours of autopilot tech)?
