Some manufacturers hold off on newer, untested tech for years before adding that to their vehicles. This is what happens when safely is a priority.

That's why I bought/will keep buying Toyota/Lexus.

Euro NCAP etc. seem to classify Teslas as (some of) the safest vehicles on roads.

Same for NHTSA:

Because they have a lower center of gravity and good crash structure. These are good things. But avoiding the accident in the first place significantly reduces the need to test that crashworthiness.

Tesla was the top one also in avoiding accidents. See Euro NCAP test.

That's really not the point.

Because of the FSD false promises, Tesla encourages dangerous behavior from drivers.

I don't want to be next to a Tesla driving in autonomous mode while it's driver at the wheel is not paying attention to me.
