Tesla autopilot crashes into a parked fire truck, then plays a role in another fatal accident, then Tesla claims “[autopilot] unequivocally makes the world safer for the vehicle occupants, pedestrians and cyclists.” Any chance we could look at the data?https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/innovations/wp/2018/03/31/tesla-asserts-autopilot-unequivocally-makes-the-world-safer-days-after-fiery-fatal-crash/ …

There are aprox 260M cars in the US and 32K fatalities a year. So 0.0123%. There are about 200K Teslas and 2 fatal accidents. So 0.001%. I’ve googled all data. Maybe more fatal crashes and maybe more teslas. Also not all of 260M car are driven. Still an order of amgnitude safer.
you are computing the wrong stats. lots more than 2 tesla fatal crashes, i would imagine; you are comparing autopilot deaths to human-aided miles. what tesla won’t tell us is how many autopilot miles were driven without user intervention. that’s the denominator we would need.
