Part 3/11:
Comparing Safety: Surface Streets Versus Highways
Surface street accidents are generally more common than highway incidents. Since FSD Beta’s deployment has been limited to city streets, the data in this context becomes vital. When comparing Tesla's safety performance on city streets, FSD appears approximately five times safer than manual driving in Tesla vehicles. However, adjusting for the fact that national statistics include both highway and city accidents, the safety advantage amplifies dramatically to roughly 19 times better than average.
