How many Tesla's are there? How many crash without autopilot, and how many crash with autopilot? How does this compare with other low-ownership rate cars in the same class?

Seems to me that it's premature to me making bold claims like this. Of cars costing over $100k, what's the accident rate?

There were numbers thrown around in the last thread on this, I gave you my memory. The answer is "Teslas are safe enough". Human drivers with the same accident rate wouldn't raise even a hair on an eyebrow.

And the "bold claims" bit is exactly backward. You are the one claiming that the technology "isn't ready" based on sensationalist local news story and not actual numbers.
