Heh. Your average human driver will have zero fatal accidents in their driving career. The fatalities happen in the margins, in the fractional percentage points.

Arguably, this makes autopilot, with its singular set of fuzzy logic, worse than human drivers. It’s flaws, after all, will continue to exist even if it kills its host.

Absent in both point and counterpoint is the number of fatalities per distance driven with and without autopilot

"Fatalities per distance driven" is a terrible metric unless FSD is doing all the driving for the trips the data is pulled from. Otherwise what tends to happen is FSD/autopilot drives the low-risk highway miles and the human has to take over in the high-risk city miles, skewing the stats.

driver assist not autopilot. Tesla is calling their driver assist an "Autopilot"(tm) and actively misleading people that they can 'let go of the wheel'.

Such language and marketing campaigns are actively killing uninformed drivers.
