Which independent Autopilot usage data are you referencing?

I don't have any independent data, just what Tesla reports: https://www.tesla.com/VehicleSafetyReport

I've read the many critiques of Tesla's analysis, and I tend to agree the benefits are overstated, but I haven't seen any reasonable empirical case that Autopilot hurts safety on net.

because tesla does not release their data

You can compare Tesla death rates per vehicule sold vs similar cars however:
