Still almost exactly half the crash rate of human-only drivers. Therefore, we should ban human-only driving.
You're missing the point -- with a human driver there is accountability. If I, as a human, cause an accident, I have either criminal or civil liability. The question of "who is at fault" get murky. And then you have the fact that Tesla is not obligated to report the crashes. And then the failures of automated driving is very different than human errors.
I don't think anyone is suggesting that we ban autonomous driving. But it needs better oversight and accountability.
I was commenting on the original post, which was an assertion that "Autopilot was not as safe as Tesla would have you believe.".
I think you hopped topics all-together. And I actually agree with you.
