(Also that story uses numbers from August 2023)
Not to mention, even without that, this data is apparently suspect:
> The agency notes that the listed crashes may be higher than the actual number of incidents due to several factors, including multiple sources for the same crash, multiple entities reporting the same crash, and multiple entities reporting the same crash but with varying information.
But sure, if we could get data broken out by road type, location, weather conditions, time of day, who’s at fault, etc. then we can obviously build a much more robust comparison.
And the numbers have just gotten worse for Tesla: FSD has been involved in at least 6 fatalities this year, and Autopilot in at least another dozen. Their competitors? Just 1, and that was several years ago.
To put things in perspective, Toyota and Ford each sold 1.5 million cars with ADAS in the U.S. last year alone (they both sold more than 1.5 million cars in the U.S., but the remainder were the low-end models without ADAS). GM sold 2 million cars in the U.S with ADAS last year, out of more than 2.5+ million cars sold). These numbers don't include vehicles with ADAS sold in other markets.
IOW, three companies alone sold more cars in the U.S. with ADAS in a single year than Tesla has sold globally in its entire lifespan. And yet...Tesla's ADAS is responsible for fatalities than every other automaker in the world combined.
And that's because no other automaker gives its customers unrealistic expectations of what the ADAS will do, so all of their customers use the ADAS systems responsibly.
