Tesla’s new safety report makes an unexpected claim that Autopilot is nine times safer than human drivers, but what’s really behind those numbers might surprise you. https://lnkd.in/eNHbN_6a Tesla’s new Vehicle Safety Report for Q3 2025. The company says that when drivers use Autopilot, they experience one crash for every 6.36 million miles driven. Compare that to the U.S. national average of one crash every 702,000 miles, and Tesla’s claim looks jaw-dropping—nine times safer than the average human driver. But what’s behind that number, and how should we interpret it?

A Tesla driver heading home from a shareholders' meeting faced oncoming traffic at 75 mph. The car made a split-second decision that saved his life. Clifford was driving through New Mexico when his Tesla's Full Self-Driving system kicked in. The result? A near-miss instead of a fatal collision. Just a broken mirror and busted window. No lives lost. Elon Musk shared the video on X. It hit 14 million views. The comments flooded in: • Similar saves from other Tesla owners • Stories of FSD preventing accidents • Relief that the technology worked when it mattered most This is Level 2 driver assistance. Not full autonomy. Drivers still need to stay alert. Ready to take control. But moments like this show the potential. Tesla's FSD uses cameras and AI to handle: 🚗 Steering decisions 🚗 Braking responses 🚗 Speed adjustments 🚗 Lane changes The system reacted faster than human reflexes could. Even with headlight glare affecting visibility. Tesla reports FSD Beta vehicles crash at 0.31 per million miles on non-highway roads. Human drivers? 1.53 per million miles. The gap is significant. Still, the technology has limitations. Real-world conditions challenge these systems. The key is understanding what FSD can and cannot do. It's assistance, not replacement. But when it works? It saves lives. #Tesla #AutonomousDriving #RoadSafety What role should AI play in keeping us safe on the road? 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞: https://lnkd.in/gRz4wRY7
