    I more surprised that big tech like amazon/apple etc. never fully embraced it. The technology - for even auto driving in OPTIMAL conditions - is not there yet in 2020.

    Teslas are good but they still crash into objects - especially ones partially in your lane.

    However, what I would like to see is the accident rate for Teslas in AP mode vs. non AP mode.
    Data is here:

    In the 4th quarter, we registered one accident for every 3.07 million miles driven in which drivers had Autopilot engaged. For those driving without Autopilot but with our active safety features, we registered one accident for every 2.10 million miles driven. For those driving without Autopilot and without our active safety features, we registered one accident for every 1.64 million miles driven.

    By comparison, NHTSA’s most recent data shows that in the United States there is an automobile crash every 479,000 miles.*


    As I thought - AP is still better than humans but like Shelton mentioned, its used in optimal conditions generally.

    Put the AP in rain/snow and it suddenly is equal.
