"I'm risking my life, and my car".....fails to mention the general public.
Does an 8 vehicle crash where 9 people are sent to the hospital count?

How about fatalities?

Maybe the first Google hit isn't enough to get a complete understanding of the situation in this case.
If you dont agree with CNN, what about the others?
Even Reuters ran it : https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/tesla-...
If you read the article, it is still under investigation as well.
"The Tesla driver told police the FSD malfunctioned but police were unable to determine if the software was in operation or if his statement was accurate, according to the report which was made public after a Reuters request."
It is possible it is FSD, also possible the driver is lying.
> Maybe the first Google hit isn't enough to get a complete understanding of the situation in this case.
Maybe no google hit will work because sometimes people consider things more of a "religion" and no evidence can convince someone to sway from their religious beleifs. What does it say when you wrote "It's literally impossible for the CNN article to be" when multiple respected agencies carried the story?
Do you have Developer access to Tesla and know for a fact this is not true? If so, have you contacted any authority to report this?
Edit: do you dispute the fatalities as well?
As far as the fatalities, the article itself states clearly that the data doesn't indicate whether autopilot or FSD was active (both are ADAS). The article also indicates that one of the incidents happened while the car was not moving. An article with any real value would dig a little deeper and share the circumstances of the accidents rather than two rows of a spreadsheet.
As a Tesla owner I would say on a personal level that the automatic emergency features of my car which leverage the self-driving work the company is doing are spectacular and have likely been a net benefit to road users. I think the Euro NCAP safety assist score reinforces this opinion (not to mention the overall score). I'm extremely happy to drive my two young girls around in what testing (not clickbait) reveals to be the safest car ever built.

They list 18 fatalities involving FSD, but i'm sure their inaccurate per your understanding?
I'd say a FSD, like we see in the youtube video, or that kills people as the NHTSA shows isnt a benefit to road users.
IN the youtube video, can the car go over 15 seconds without attempting to run into the curb?
You should definitely not engage FSDbeta in environments that the computer vision system hasn't been trained on. If you do you should be sure to post it to YouTube.
