In the fourth quarter of 2022, Tesla said its cars using Autopilot recorded were involved in one crash per every 4.85 million miles — or 0.2 crashes per million miles. That's compared with around 0.7 crashes per million miles for Teslas not using Autopilot, and a US average of 1.5 crashes per million miles. The company has not released any figures for deaths per million miles, or the total number of miles driven, which would be needed to calculate that figure.

Why do we trust Tesla's figures? Elon is a pathological liar.

Independently collected evidence that does not rely on Tesla shows that Tesla's are not safe.

He doesn't need to lie when he can just choose what to release - if they're not releasing deaths per million miles, it's because the numbers aren't as favourable.
