Keep this in perspective: based on the number of avoidable deaths in Tesla cars driving on Autopilot in otherwise favorable conditions, its arguable that Autopilot causes more accidents and deaths than it avoids, especially given that Autopilot is used in the lowest-risk driving conditions.


Yeah good to keep an open mind on both possibilities, but it’s overwhelmingly likely that autopilot will only get much better over time.


Those deaths were not caused by autopilot though.
