From this article [0] in October of 2023"...Autopilot have been involved in more than 700 crashes, at least 19 of them fatal, since its introduction in 2014..."

With everyone on their phones now while driving, I wonder if cat photos have killed more.

Fortunately, cats usually aren't given control over a steering wheel :)

Tesla software is.

Pretty sure Instagram thots and memes have killed more than Teslas. I'd bet a lot of money on that.

Since autopilot is used on a substantial fraction (one third?) of miles driven by Teslas, this is another way of saying that Teslas are not yet invincible to crashes.

Involvement doesn't mean caused.

Also how many lives has it saved?
