The title makes it sound way worse than the 7 reported crashes listed in the article. I’d be interested to see a comparison with Waymo and other self driving technologies in the same area (assuming the exist).
(The one thing I would like to see done differently here is including an error interval.)
Of the Tesla accidents, five of them involved either collisions with fixed objects, animals, or a non-injured cyclist. Extremely minor versions of these with human drivers often go unreported.
Unfortunately, without the details, this comparison will end up being a comparison between two rates with very different measurement approaches.
Austin has relatively low miles so the confidence intervals are wider but not too far from what they show for other cities
Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.
> and other self driving technologies
I mean, this isn't self-driving. It has a safety driver.
