Poll: Will Safety Score do more for safety than any other system?

[Terminator857]

Seems to me that this safety score is going to do more to help Tesla with their safety statistics more than improvements in any other system. I'm estimated the full self driving is more than 5 years away so that doesn't count. What do you think?

Example: I've been bothered by how closely my wife follows other cars. No idea why she does it. Now I have a reason to nag her to keep a safer distance.

The best safety device is a cop car in the rear view mirror.

I don’t think it is revolutionary. I know plenty of people that get insurance ‘discounts’ by using their insurance company setups.

While Tesla’s Safety Score needs to evolve, it’s a good start. Every time I pull in my garage I get a following to close warning. I hate to say it is definitely making me a better driver. In just two weeks it’s changed my driving style in my non-Tesla car too.

Sad to see what the future holds for this kind of data being collected more effectively.

According to earnings report: drivers that use the safety score are 30% less likely to be involved in an accident.

Tesla has calculated that the 150,000 customers currently using the Safety Score feature are 30% less likely to be involved in a collision.

Obvious issue is that maybe bad drivers know their safety score would be low so they don’t sign up. Need a randomized trial!
It is fascinating how much data Tesla can collect. It will be interesting to see what the FSD Beta collision rate once it gets more widely deployed (if they don’t count curb strikes I suspect it will also show reduced collisions, it appears to be good at keeping people hyper alert).

After about 10 light hearted attempts to discuss improving safety score, wife is now driving around with a score of 96. I believe she is a much safer driver now.
