I don't disagree. But in the end, looking at statistics, it's still safer to drive with AP indeed.

Self-driving cares are done for the first time (I mean, almost fully autonomous ones). Accidents will happen still. We are very far away from a good generic AI that can adapt to different tasks so it's gonna be a bumpy road, pun intended.

There's no publicly shared statistics that show that. You may have been confused by Tesla's PR.

That's not the right conclusion I don't think. That published statistic is referring aggregates and averages.

As we know there are safer and riskier drivers on the roads.

If everybody was driving with AP the total number of accidents would drop.

However if you are already a safe driver, there's a chance that AP is riskier.

I don't want to bash AP to the ground, I think the tech is still phenomenal, and forced the car industry to catch up. However Tesla has the attitude of the classic move fast and break things mentality and not willing to take responsibility for it. When lives are at stake, you gotta do better than that.

You don't get to blame the customers for getting distracted for using a system that's literally called and marketed as Autopilot.

There's a reason similarly capable other cars in the market their systems as driver assistance and will force you to give input on tighter intervals.
