How many accidents per kilometer is that, and how many accidents per kilometer do human drivers cause?
Not that I’m disagreeing with the title. There are still many places where it shouldn’t be used, and Tesla should not allow using it in those places. If it’s unable to detect those places then it’s not at all ready as an autopilot yet.
Accidents per mile is a terrible argument. People that drive huge distances on open highways will appear to be safer than people driving mostly traffic dense city miles regardless of their actual skill.
Not the perfect measure but much better than just a figure hanging in the air like this article has it. You’ll have to compare the number of “autopilot” accidents to the number of human accidents or the number doesn’t mean anything.

It’s not autopilot, it’s adaptive cruise control with lane keep assist. The redundancy isn’t there to ever be a functional fully automated system.

I’m interested in the severity of autopilot accidents at highway speed vs a human driver.
