Is that the official Tesla stat? I've heard of way more Tesla fatalities than that..

There are a sizeable number of deaths associated with the abuse of Tesla’s adaptive cruise control with lane cantering (publicly marketed as “autopilot”). Such features are commonplace on many new cars and it is unclear whether Tesla is an outlier, because no one is interested in obsessively researching cruise control abuse among other brands.

There are two deaths associated with FSD.

I don't know what he's on about. Here's a better list:

  • Good ole Autopilot vs FSD post. You would think people on Hacker News would be better informed. Autopilot is just lane keep and adaptive cruise control. Basically what every other car has at this point.

    "MacOS Tahoe has these cool features". "Yea but what about this wikipedia article on System 1. Look it has these issues."

    That's how you come across

  • Autopilot is the shitty lane assist. FSD is the SOTA neural net.

    Your link agrees with me:
