More or less Tesla’s autopilot is not as safe as Tesla would have you believe.

      Irrelevant; that’s what it is. Considering that a human is still ultimately responsible when they’re behind the wheel whether or not “autopilot” is running, it’s the human that should be attributed the lower crash rate.

      Otherwise you risk incidents like this one where the human intervenes in a near-miss and actively stops the car from actually causing a severe accident being counted as “pro-autopilot” when it was the human that actually stopped the event from occurring.

        No, the crash rate is definitely relevant, but I do get what you’re saying about safety being human caused.
