Normalized crash data shows Autopilot is much less safe than Tesla claims
I have felt since day 1 that "autopilot is better than the average driver!" is the most misleading fact/statistic in the industry.The "average driver" involved in an accident includes drunk drivers, road ragers, habitual speeders, teenagers, people driving in bad conditions (rain, snow), people driving without sleep and several other risky groups that most people buying Teslas aren't part of. To be worth it, the car has to reduce my personal accident risk under the conditions I usually drive, otherwise I prefer to keep my own hands behind the wheel over handing over control to an algorithm.
