Depends on metrics you choose to evaluate. Tesla is leading on deaths occurring with FSD (many), Uber 1, Waymo 0.



This is the type of disingenuous analysis that greatly skews reality; breakdown for distance driven, % of road types driven on, driver neglect, etc.


If Waymo is at 0 then normalizing by miles driven doesn't really matter...


It does if they’ve driven zero miles


It matters because a low enough miles driven would show insufficient data.


Agree on distance driven as an important metrics, road type too. However, is driver neglect really a variable for self driving cars? If yes, then is it a self-driving car?


Curious on the down votes, these are verifiable numbers and related deaths seems like a reasonable metric.


Probably because you ignored the fact that Tesla is the first to deploy, so obviously there have been more crashes. but on a per mile basis maybe not. It's such an oversight that it comes off as dishonest.


I can see your point and it makes sense. Counterpoint, if I had answered "depends on the metrics you choose but Tesla was first to market" or "depends on the metrics you choose but Tesla has the greatest miles driven" do you think the reaction would be the same?


Not op, but people here don't generally take to clearly misleading data that was presented that way to make a point. The population here is probably sufficiently enriched for data peeps.

And I mean this in the least hostile way, though my choice of language above may sound sarcastic.
