At best it's a valid opening gambit in a discussion of the merits of driving automation. It's not a scientific review, it's one guy's quick filtering of hyperbolic titles plus whatever bias is imposed by his personal YouTube bubble.

Dashcam videos have the same self selection bias. People don't upload boring successes at the same rate they upload exciting failures. The ratio probably exceeds thousands to one. For every hour of Tesla autopilot video showing a failure, there are probably thousands or tens of thousands of hours of boring, safe, uneventful driving that isn't recorded, uploaded, or even noticed.

Getting the statistics from regulators and public reports paints a picture starkly different than what media portrays, because it's boring and doesn't result in clicks.

"Yay, nothing bad happened" is the ultimate goal, but along the way "less bad stuff happened" is the story to pay attention to.
