I am so, so tired of Tesla's claims that FSD is "multiple times safer than humans" when the data they base these claims on are basically people using FSD in a totally safe environment which made them use FSD in the first place (mostly long straight highways).

Anyone trying FSD in a crowded city environment would shit their pants. Unprotected lefts are very often a mess, and interventions are legion. It is really a breath of fresh air to hear news outlets report finally about the actual state of the technology.

It's even worse than this: there is no evidence that FSD is safer on highways due to the extremely low number of bad events there.

It would take literally hundreds of millions of miles driven on highways to get statistical significance.

This is also why L3 is going to be much harder than people think.

Hundreds of millions of miles? That's no problem at all. FSD has already been driven over a billion miles. Basic Autopilot, 9 billion.

Great. Then where is the public proceedings showing that FSD is statistically safer than humans on highways?
