Despite their popularity, Teslas face increasing scrutiny over safety, especially for motorcycle riders. An analysis by FuelArc revealed that all recorded motorcycle fatalities involving self-driving cars in the last three years were linked to Teslas. This alarming statistic coincides with the trend of Teslas predominantly striking motorcyclists from behind, raising concerns about the efficacy of their self-driving software. Additional NHTSA data indicates a troubling pattern where these vehicles also frequently collide with emergency vehicles, prompting recalls. Collectively, these findings highlight critical safety issues surrounding Tesla's self-driving capabilities and their potential dangers to motorcyclists.
According to a new analysis by FuelArc, Teslas have a totally unique propensity for plowing over motorcyclists among self-driving cars - supporting a belief among some motorcyclists that Teslas are particularly dangerous to ride next to.
While motorcycle deaths are certainly tragic, they’re unfortunately nothing new in our world of 6,000 lb SUVs and lifted trucks. What is alarming, FuelArc notes, is the fact that Teslas are killing motorcyclists overwhelmingly from behind.
