>At ~1.2 deaths per 100 million miles in the US you would expect approximately ~10-20 deaths over that distance. Adjusted for type of car and driving conditions.

That will be a huge adjustment that they seem to not be doing.

So any numbers of DUI deaths riding an 1990s semi-broken car is compared to an autopilot death in an expensive state of the art car with great engine, speed, and breaks.

How about we get the deaths per miles for non-coke users driving Tesla-like sports cars?

I am not sure how 'huge' that would be. But, be careful when trying to get more accurate estimates as the tendency is to look for things that move Numbers into the directions you think they should go not just to increase the accuracy of each estimate.

Even if misleading in the too cautious direction, that would be a better step towards safety than the numbers the car makers give.

Besides the same argument could be made for too much drug testing, against e.g. a snake-oil promoter.
