Now if we can get a statistics whiz to put this in proper perspective (number of Teslas to other EV brands, how many miles each vehicle with a ADAS drove, etc etc etc), we'd have some numbers that actually might mean something.

It looks to me that the right-hand column of this table itls not a conclusion reached, but rather hhat it's the category of Investigation into which the case was submitted for study. If someone claimed or even suggested that the car was running Autopilot, it would be put into that category for investigation.

The article says that 3 of the 35 cases under investigation, they have been able to rule out the ADAS, finding that it was not engaged. That is very different than saying the other cases were in Autopilot; it means a conclusion has not yet been reached.

The NHTSA page is:


Then look for:

DOWNLOAD DATA
The below CSV files contain incident report data through September 15, 2022.

The direct link is:


For the past 4 months, 10 out of 11 fatal crashes are Tesla ADAS. The 1 out of 11 is the Ford pickup truck.

A disturbing Tesla trend is a sudden increase in motorcyclist deaths after the radar was deleted: 1 in California, 1 in Utah, and 2 in Florida.

Are you suggesting the increase of in fatality incidents involving motorcyclists is because Tesla removed radar in May 2021? Tesla only started switching vehicles with radar to Tesla Vision late August with 2022.20.9, but the data doesn't show what version was used.

The 4 incidents you're referring to from the data seem to be…

2021 Model Y in Riverside, CA JUL-2022
2020 Model Y in FL APR-2022
2020 Model 3 in Bluffdale, UT JUL-2022
2020 Model 3 in Boca Raton, FL AUG-2022
