        That’s literally the only data we have so that’s what I’m basing my opinion to while being fully aware that while I doubt that these stats lie they may however be misleading as statistics often are.

        My key argument still stands; autopilot/FSD is not as bad/dangerous as people here make them to be and they’re getting better all the time.

        If one is going to make the claim that these systems are more dangerous than human driver then show me the data you’re basing it on. People surely don’t think that just because they don’t like the company/CEO, right?
