    You can literally type in an address and the car will take you there with zero input on the driver’s part. If that’s not full self-driving then I don’t know what is. What FSD was capable of a year ago and how it performs today is completely different.

    Not only does these statistics include the way less capable older versions of it, it also includes accidents caused by autopilot which is a different system than FSD. It also fails to mention how the accident rate compares to human drivers.

    If we replace every single car in the US with a self-driving one that’s 10x safer driver than your average human that means you’re still getting over 3000 deaths a year due to traffic accidents. That’s 10 people a day. If one wants to ban these systems because they’re not perfect then that means they’ll rather have 100 people die every day instead of 10.

      That may be because Tesla refuses to publish proper data on this, lol.

      Yeah, they claim it’s ten times better than a human driver, but none of their analysis methods or data points are available to independent researchers. It’s just marketing.

        I’m not claiming it is 10x safer than a human - I’m saying that even if it was there would still be daily deaths despite that.

        Tesla has published the data - people just refuse to believe it because it doesn’t show what they think it should. There’s nothing more Tesla can do about it at this point. It’s up to independent researches from now.

          I would love to see this data, can you link it? Either a paper by unaffiliated researchers or the raw data is fine.
          I am aware their marketing pushes the “10x better” number. But I have yet to see the actual data to back this claim.
