My point is that anti Tesla self driving sentiment is almost exclusively driven by emotion, not hard data.
Show me the data that justifies why I need to be afraid of public FSD.
Burden of proof is on Tesla to show that FSD is safe, not on the DMV to prove that it isn't.
You are welcome to argue that this principle is in need of reform. People may or may not agree with you. The discussion might be interesting.
But like it or not, the underlying principle for an exception to an established safety principle is that the burden of proof is on Tesla.
That's enough reason to be very wary of Teslas on the road. There are others, but even one is enough.
On a relative basis, it's even scarier: scaled up to Toyota or GM numbers (in terms of vehicles sold), hundreds of people would be dying each year from self-driving crashes.
Tesla doesn't release total yearly mileage data anymore so there isn't much to work with. There is some IIHS data and from that Tesla models do worse than comparable vehicles without a doubt (https://www.tesladeaths.com/index.html#FAQ).
