Tesla Influencers Try to Present FSD as Safe While Almost Hitting a Cyclist

This article is meant to influence opinion with anecdotes, without actually providing data. I would like to see articles like this cite actual stats on Tesla FSD accidents vs. human-driver accidents.

Well one has to correlate with several factors. A key value to that would be if Tesla shared anonymized, raw data from their FSD beta and human-drivers.

Since this data isn't publicly available by Tesla people are going to report anecdotal data.

Does Tesla know this? Of course they do.

Is it easy to share that kind of data? It is not trivial, but not as complicated as FSD.

Maybe it doesn't have a good ROI, I guess.

Elon has said multiple times, most recently at AI day, that the accident rate is 10x lower with FSD enabled

Elon might be slightly biased, even unwillingly.

Hard data would allow researchers to truly provide insights about FSD safety and road safety in general. Withholding hard data while citing them doesn't look good IMHO.

Highway vs urban are not equivalent miles. Highways miles are easy and cannot be taken as proof that the cars are truly Full Self Driving capable in all environments.
