Not defending Tesla or anything, but don’t we want to take the W where we can?

If a self-driving feature is safer than humans in nice conditions, don’t we want it enabled under those conditions? What’s the issue?

Of course, the risk is that it’s misapplied in worse conditions where it fares worse.

The issue is that it isn't safer, seemingly under any conditions. If it had lower accident rate per mile, that the stat for humans includes adverse conditions while the stat for tesla only includes ideal conditions. Presumably humans are safer than their average on highways...

Also the original quote is flat out wrong as they are deemed 10x more likely to crash according to this: https://prospect.org/infrastructure/transportation/2023-06-1...
