Debunked Jul 1, 2024The Claim
Cars on Tesla Autopilot crash far more often than normal cars.
The Reality
Tesla's published Vehicle Safety Report records fewer crashes per million miles when Autopilot is engaged than when it is not, and far fewer than the U.S. fleet average. Independent researchers rightly note this comparison is imperfect — Autopilot is used mostly on highways, which are inherently safer per mile — so the data should be read with that caveat. The strong claim that Autopilot is "far more dangerous" than human driving is not supported by the available aggregate data.
