Yes, especially how it, being a press release, was written with a potentially large -- but unknowable -- bias towards minimizing those failure modes.
Just needs to have fewer failure modes than humans.
We have no evidence that the current Tesla system causes fewer injuries or fatalities. Moreover, the alternative isn't non-automation but other reasonable automated designs, ones that do address the failure modes.
Failure modes aren't just a simple scalar quantity, much less a yes/no.
