~~Although it’s far from perfect, autopilot gets into a lot less accidents per mile than drivers without autopilot.~~
~~They have some statistics here:~~ https://www.tesla.com/VehicleSafetyReport
EDIT: As pointed out by commenters in this thread, autopilot is mainly used on high ways, whereas the crash average is on all roads. Also Tesla only counts a crash if the airbag was deployed, but the numbers they compared against count every crash, including the ones without deployed airbags.
This reminds me when you google if a certain company or product is good or legit and the top one is posted from the companies website.
