Part 5/12:
Elon Musk shared compelling safety data comparing Tesla's autopilot to human drivers and other autonomous vehicles. According to Tesla's 2025 safety report, vehicles on autopilot crash approximately once every 6.69 million miles—substantially safer than human drivers, who crash roughly once per 1.42 million miles. Even Tesla vehicles without autopilot outperform human drivers, hitting about once per 1.04 million miles. Impressively, Wimo's self-driving cars record even fewer crashes, around 0.2 per million miles.
This robust safety record supports the narrative that Tesla's autonomous software is not only innovative but also statistically safer than human operation, a critical point when addressing public skepticism.
