So there's a lot of missing data in trying to understand the actual impacts of Tesla's "autopilot" on automobile collisions. It seems like a lot of the analyses are finding that right now it's less safe than a human driver (2019: +59%, 2023: +11%).
This is an interesting deconstruction of a crash, that's got me thinking a lot more about the notion of "moral crumple zones", especially when a technology is marketed as "autopilot" and, despite having good map data, allows drivers to set parameters outside of legal limits.
