Tesla recently released its vehicle safety report for the fourth quarter of 2021, which shows that its vehicles using Autopilot are 9 times safer than other vehicles on U.S. roads driven by humans.
According to NHTSA data, the United States will have a car accident for every 484,000 miles traveled, and tesla reports also show that in the fourth quarter of 2021, drivers use Autopilot, every 4.31 million miles driven, there will be a car accident, new data shows that Tesla Autopilot has a good safety record, and it also shows through the data that autopilot is nine times safer than human drivers. And Tesla's data also shows that Autopilot has improved over time, dating back to the fourth quarter of 2020, when Tesla drivers used Autopilot and had an accident for every 3.45 million miles they traveled. Comparing indicators for the same period in different years, excluding the influence of seasonality, is arguably the best means of correct assessment.
"In Q4, drivers using Autopilot technology (auto-steering and active safety features), we recorded a single collision of 4.31 million miles, and for drivers who didn't use Autopilot technology (no auto-steering and active safety features), we recorded "one crash for every 1.59 million miles traveled." By comparison, NHTSA's latest data shows that in the United States, there is a crash for every 484,000 miles traveled. ”
Active safety features are standard on all vehicles tesla has produced since September 2014, it provides additional software assurance beyond the physical structure of the vehicle, the company uses data from all vehicles on the road to better understand how accidents occur, and after analyzing the data, Tesla can also continue to develop features that can help Tesla drivers mitigate or avoid accidents.
