What is the latest data for car crash deaths involving teslas? I know there’s a case against them for a few deaths involving a breaking bug.

People often pitch this view but don’t provide real numbers.

Teslas have consistently ranked at the top of most crash test benchmarks. They are extremely safe. Additionally their driver assistance systems enforce more checks that the driver is paying attention (more than Volkswagen at least).

Can you please link to the lawsuit? It could be one related to unnecessary emergency breaking which would likely be annoying but not cause death.

I also think people who don’t speed, and don’t drink (ever, or especially before driving) want to put themselves at risk to a dumb software bug. Like it’s great if we could reduce deaths but man I’d feel horrible about my kid dying because some computer vision engineer misidentifies a truck for a road.
