"Last week, Tesla revealed a new section of its website dedicated to reporting safety statistics for its advanced driver assist systems, Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (FSD). The new hub appears to be an attempt to move beyond the company's traditional quarterly safety reports, which have been criticized for failing to account for basic facts about traffic statistics, and toward something more verifiable and reliable. And given that Tesla's future relies on people trusting its self-driving technology, the stakes couldn't be higher."
"But safety experts say the updated report is too little, too late. "Yeah on the surface it looks like FSD is performing fairly well," said Noah Goodall, a civil engineer who has published several peer-reviewed studies about Tesla Autopilot. "But I put very little faith in these numbers because of Tesla's past deceptions." "I put very little faith in these numbers because of Tesla's past deceptions." Tesla owners have driven 6.47 billion miles on FSD - and counting. The site literally features a mile counter that is always increasing."
Tesla launched a new website hub reporting safety statistics for Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (FSD). The hub presents metrics intended to be more verifiable than the company's previous quarterly safety reports. Safety experts remain skeptical and characterize the updated report as insufficient and flawed. Engineers cite Tesla's history of misleading data and express limited trust in the numbers. Tesla reports that owners have driven 6.47 billion miles on FSD and displays an active mile counter. The site claims FSD users experience roughly 5.1 million miles between major collisions, though some data details are incomplete.
