They also have very few cars. There’s like 10 or so of these robotaxis. If you grab 10 human taxi drivers and follow them around for a few months, you’d also expect them to have on average 0 accidents.
As dumb as this tech is in its current state, it still seems safer to me than human drivers. So far they’ve had very few accidents. Human drivers will do a dangerous maneuver to get in front of you then at the red light they’ll get out of the car and try kick your ass.

I’m not talking about just Tesla. There are quite a few companies that have been operating driverless cars. I think waymo has been doing it for years at this point.
If it were just Tesla I dont think they’d be safer than a human driver.

Any car with an automatic emergency stop feature is safer than an “average human driver”.
That’s a big problem with all these self-driving car statistics: Self driving cars are usually very new and outfitted with top-of-the-line features, while the “human driver” they are compared to drives a much older and cheaper car, often without many of the security features that new cars are required to have and often not even maintained properly. Doesn’t really say much about the driving capabilities of a self-driving car.
Sadly, actually comparable statistics are impossible to find, since accident statistics aren’t usually collected on a per-car-type-and-age basis.

I dont have an issue with any of them except tesla. I dont trust their “camera only” method on top of their phantom braking and acceleration, plus whatever else can fail and prevent you from getting out of the car

yeah Tesla is by far the worst of all the brands.
