I appreciate the sentiment, especially given the types of failure mode, but the stats (such as they are) indicate the cars are safer with it switched on than without it.

To the extent that it’s possible to know anything, it looks like it makes cars less unsafe.

The data comes from Tesla, not from third party investigators. The minimal data from third parties, like Consumer Reports, says it's shit outside of highway use (which is the safest kind of road to travel on already).
It looks like that because they only release FSD to Tesla cult members that know the software is dangerous. Once they start rolling out to lower safety scores (i.e. normal people) the suicide missions will begin.
