  • I agree with you that we need more data. Right now the USA average car death’s are 1.37 per 100 million miles driven.

    From what little Tesla has talked about the autopilot is below that average. BUT the raw data hasn’t been released. We don’t know how many miles have been driven on autopilot, we don’t know the road conditions it was used in (assumingely autopilot would be used more often on freeways), and we don’t know how the safety rating of the Tesla vehicle compares to others on the road (its possible Teslas are getting in more accidents but the car is keeping them safe, or vice versa).

    Too many unknowns. So while I dislike this article because it mostly comes off as hollow in my eyes, I do think that Tesla needs to make more of it’s data public so users can make an informed choice.


  • I had no idea that this was happening. But it makes sense with the decision they just made. I’m guessing they disabled X number of users on the mobile site that logged in, and tracked how many X users were converted to the Official Reddit App because of that.

    That way they can predict how many users they will lose to the API change (roughly) and made a business calculation that the lost users were worth it. I’d be astounded if they didn’t also have a sorting for ‘value’ of users as well and weighted the calculation with how many high value vs low value users didn’t convert.
