Millions of Teslas equipped with ‘any assisted-driving tech’ != autopilot on FSD. We have to compare deaths in Teslas with deaths in other vehicles too, as that’s what people would use if not a Tesla.

The chance of fatality per collision is way off.

If you’re going to go down a rabbit hole we need to look at lives impacted by lithium mining compared to regular combustion engine vehicles.

While I appreciate your point I’d be surprised if the number of QALYs is higher from working on FSD at Tesla compared to being a doctor.

You're probably right that fatalities per collision is off but plug in your own numbers and then divide by ten... the point still stands. Autopilot has saved countless lives. And it was architected by a very small team, led by this one man. But I'll admit, the comparison with doctors is a little hyperbolic. Although in a few years of growth and global scale, who knows...?
