So Tesla says. There is no independent verification of this data. It could all be bullshit.
Comment on New Footage Shows Tesla On Autopilot Crashing Into Police Car After Alerting Driver 150 Times
Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz 10 months agoIn the 2nd quarter, we recorded one crash for every 4.41 million miles driven in which drivers were using Autopilot technology (Autosteer and active safety features). For drivers who were not using Autopilot technology (no Autosteer and active safety features), we recorded one crash for every 1.2 million miles driven. By comparison, NHTSA’s most recent data shows that in the United States there is an automobile crash every 484,000 miles.

Perhaps. I’m sure you’ll provide me with the independent data you’re basing that “Teslas are not safe” claim on
masterairmagic@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
So you take Tesla’s word and believe it, but ask for proof for the contrary?
You’re just a hypocrite.
narp@feddit.de 10 months ago
You made the first comment: “Teslas aren’t safe”, without providing proof.
And now you’re calling someone a hypocrite because he asks for data of exactly what you claimed, while you’re redefining your first argument as “the contrary”.
So, do you have proof that Tesla’s aren’t safe in comparison to other cars, or is it just your opinion?

Tesla model Y scored the highest possible score on IIHS crash test as well as 5 stars on Euro NCAP
Their other models have similar results. I believe Model X is the safest SUV ever made.

almost 4 times less likely to be involved in a crash than a human driven
Not relevant at all here, when we are discussing occurences that seem so easily and obviously avoidable.

We’re talking about overall
No.

Tesla’s are not safe
Yes.

Tesla fails at basic safety in the most obvious and simple accidents.
tiny_electron@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
There is a bias here in the numbers. Teslas are expensive and not everyone is buying them. The lower accident rate can be explained by the different demographic driving the vehicle rather than Teslas being better. For exemple, younger people might be more likely to cause accident because of different factors and they are also less likely to buy a Tesla because they are so expensive. I dont have the numbers for this, but we should all be careful with the claims of Tesla on safety when they compared themself to the global average.
Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz 10 months ago
Sure. There are always multiple factors in play. However I’d still be willing to bet that there’s nothing in Teslas that makes them inherently unsafe compared to other cars.

You mean the feature that every single EV has?
masterairmagic@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
The biggest bias is that the data comes from Tesla. Do you think they are going to release something that makes them look bad?
