Tesla’s proprietary safety features, standard on all models, reinforce the company's vehicles’ safety profile, making Teslas roughly four times safer than comparable non-autonomous vehicles in city driving contexts.
Another aspect is the composition of vehicle types in crash data. While most crashes involve passenger cars, other vehicle types contribute to overall statistics, potentially diluting the passenger car-specific safety comparisons.
