Things like this are used to argue against automated cars however it is pretty clear that automated cars drive safer than humans even with these one off errors. Humans kill other humans due to error every day

These media hitpieces are always aimed against the individual Tesla accidents... just a handful of them. How many other accidents are the media ignoring in order to light a fire about this particular non-story? (Hint: There are 6 million auto accidents each year... that is over 16,000 a day. And there are 38,000 fatalities. How many of those were in Teslas with the autopilot driving?)

Here is what we need to know:

How many Tesla accidents were there, in how many miles driven?

How many human driver accidents were there, in how many miles driven?

Whenever I ask for these numbers, I get crickets. These are the only numbers that matter. They would prove once and for all that a Tesla driving is far safer than a human.

Instead, we get these media hitpieces, intended to incite feelings. I don't care at all about feelings. Give me data. Individual anecdotes are not data.
