Statistics don't include situations where Tesla went wrong and the driver manually intervened to avoid an accident. One is just human drivers and the other is a team effort between human drivers and AI, if the results are the same then that's quite condemning of the AI.

At the moment the relevant choice is between human and human+AI, not human vs only AI. And I believe human+AI outperforms in what rough statistics we do have.

We'll have 'full self-driving' in a year, so option 3 is on the table very soon, according to Tesla's marketing.

I assume that this is mostly pr in terms of how autonomous the ai will be once again, but many people may buy it and then get blamed for it when accidents happen.
