There are three major problems with this argument.

First, Tesla's system is primarily engaged on easy roads, and will automatically disengage in tricky situations. This means their safety figures are heavily skewed by the implicit exclusion of many accident-prone locations.

Second, comparing per-mile numbers across wildly different modes of transportation is impossible. Cars often drive literally an order of magnitude faster than a bicycle in a low-risk environment: it's called a "highway". Meanwhile, bicycles spend all their time in high-risk environments.

Third, it completely ignores the cause. A "bicycle fatality" is almost always actually a car killing the cyclist. Bicycles don't do the killing. Meanwhile, an "FSD fatality" is usually someone who actively got killed by a car with FSD engaged.

Once your are comparing apples to apples, Tesla suddenly looks a lot worse. And even if it were as safe as they claim it is, they should not automatically be allowed on the road. A lot of accidents are caused by poor or distracted driving. That's already illegal, and anyone caught doing so would be prosecuted for it. If Tesla acted exactly the same on the road, it should be prosecuted too. Right now they are shifting all the responsibility onto the driver who is supposed to "supervise", but considering how their product is marketed I do not believe they should get away with that loophole.
