The woman cut from the far right lane across three lanes of traffic at a speed exceeding 100 mph to try to get around my left when I was moving into the left lane to overtake the vehicle in front of me. I had JUST checked the rear view and side mirrors, nobody close, was clear for the pass, her move happened very quickly. I would not have caught her move because I had already checked and had plenty of clear space to pass. My car yanking itself back from the pass (and not overcorrecting) is what prevented the accident.
Musk also said in early 2019 that FSD would be available before the end of that year, so don’t read too much into his statements. You can figure it out yourself, it’s grade school math. I can’t find the figures I had for Q1 2022, but here they are, from Tesla.com, for Q4 2021:
“In the 4th quarter, we recorded one crash for every 4.31 million miles driven in which drivers were using Autopilot technology (Autosteer and active safety features). For drivers who were not using Autopilot technology (no Autosteer and active safety features), we recorded one crash for every 1.59 million miles driven. By comparison, NHTSA’s most recent data shows that in the United States there is an automobile crash every 484,000 miles.”
Easy, peasy, like I said, just running Autopilot is much safer, 1/9 the average, than the average car.
