Maybe their systems are safe and Tesla's isn't?

I don't know anything about other manufacturer's systems but I've seen video of Tesla's on autopilot doing unsafe things and read a lot of anecdotes of this as well. Elon Musk has made ridiculously optimistic statements about when Teslas will be self-driving and that by itself can influence people's behavior - perhaps fatally.

Edit: also, Tesla removed Lidar from their system. And there have been well-publicized deaths of people using autopilot.

Tesla has not removed Lidar form their system. You are mixing things up, they removed rader. And most of cases in the report are about system with radar.
Tesla never had lidar lol
Panic didn’t say they did.
Right

> rader

Radar is actually short for "RAdio Detection And Ranging"

And Lidar is short for "LIght Detection And Ranging"
