3,855/278,870,463 = 0.00138% - average for all

13/6,000,000 = 0.00021% - average per tesla

Are you trolling, or a pro-Tesla bot?

It's not 13 fatalities. It's 13 incidents involving a total of 29 deaths. https://www.tesladeaths.com has the total fatality account involving Slaugherpilot at 42.

Also, you're omitting all the deaths in Teslas for which it hasn't yet been proven that "Autopilot" was involved. Teslas are driven my more affluent people, are newer, and incorporate safer non-Autopilot tech. than the average car.

Finally, 6M is the worldwide number of cars Tesla has sold, which you're comparing to a U.S. count of non-Teslas.

The math is wrong but the idea isn't wrong. Its never going to be zero, what matters is how it compares to humans driving.
