From the original article:

"The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that crash rates for Tesla vehicles have plummeted 40% since Autopilot was first installed."

Are there actually enough crashes involving Teslas for this to be statistically useful? It’s not a particularly common car brand.
You don't need that big of a sample size for the results to be significant. A lot of people overestimate the sample size you need.
Good point. The sample size of one crash cited a few comments above is way too few to show autopilot makes cars more dangerous.
