Is there any evidence this crash had anything to do with Autopilot or FSD? Statistically, the Model 3 is the safest car there is. And do they suspend the Crown Vic or Prius (or whatever the equivalent ubiquitous carbon-emitting taxis are in France) every time they get in a crash?

Statistically Tesla has abused statistics to make up misleading points.

Things like comparing the Model 3 to all cars on the road when the average car is something like 12 years old and driven by a very different demographic.

Or comparing AP accident rates to all rates of accidents when AP is speed limited and mainly operates on the safest types of roads (pretty much won't work on the most dangerous kind, "stroads")

Even worse than that their go-to stat is freeway miles where people feel comfortable enough to have Autopilot on miles compared to all cars all roads all conditions for others
