When it was time to react, often it was too late.

In total, NHTSA investigated 956 crashes, starting in January 2018 and extending all the way until August 2023. Of those crashes, some of which involved other vehicles striking the Tesla vehicle, 29 people died. There were also 211 crashes in which “the frontal plane of the Tesla struck a vehicle or obstacle in its path.” These crashes, which were often the most severe, resulted in 14 deaths and 49 injuries.

    Just because they are causing accidents doesn’t mean they’re causing more accidents.

    These statistics literally show Tesla vehicles literally causing more accidents than other ADAS systems.

    but how many Teslas are on the road vs other ADAS cars?

    Mobileye has 170 million vehicles under its ADAS system across Nissan, BMW, Volkswagen, Ford, Toyota, Porsche, and … early versions of Tesla (back when Tesla Autopilot 1 was performing better than this new crap that’s come out more recently).

    Tesla isn’t even the #1 manufacturer of ADAS systems. Mobileye is. The only reason Tesla ever went into this Autopilot / FSD crap was because Mobileye fired them as a customer because Mobileye didn’t like how Tesla’s advertisements oversold the capabilities. And now Tesla has a shittier ADAS system that they pretend is better than their competitors, even though Tesla can’t even figure out how to integrate RADAR and Ultrasonic systems like Mobileye can.
