    Q2 2024

    In the 2nd quarter, we recorded one crash for every 6.88 million miles driven in which drivers were using Autopilot technology. For drivers who were not using Autopilot technology, we recorded one crash for every 1.45 million miles driven. By comparison, the most recent data available from NHTSA and FHWA (from 2022) shows that in the United States there was an automobile crash approximately every 670,000 miles.    ​

    I wish they included Full Self Driving miles.

    So probably people are using autopilot more on highways where you get more miles without crashes?

    Like others adaptive cruise control and lane keeping, Autopilot can work at slower speeds, but without the stop reading abilities of FSD, most people likely only use it on highways and stretches of road without stops.

    This is called "selection bias". It has been pointed out for years, but we still aren't getting the data transparency needed to gauge or address it.

    No problem. I paid $1,200 in 2019 for AutoPilot and after 3 weeks, used it pretty much all the time. My testing revealed AutoPilot problems and they went away after my retesting after each update. Overtime, AutoPilot got better and better. But I can only speak to my use and experience.

    If other choose to project something else, no problem. AutoPilot is standard on all Teslas and that is a good thing. I prefer observation over speculation.
