But it doesn't really work out that you can just assume that the accident and death rate would remain the same if ALL cars had autopilot. The reality is that in total only Three (3) people have died in Teslas in the U.S. with autopilot engaged over the last 4 years, compared to roughly 150,000 people who died over those same 4 years without Tesla's autopilot safety technology. Again, (3) deaths vs. (150,000) deaths seems like very good odds to me. There was one death in 2016, NONE in 2017, one in 2018, and one so far in 2019 even with the Tesla autopilot installed population increasing dramatically. Again, one death per year vs. 37,000 deaths in the U.S. overall is very good.
