Teslas running Autopilot have been in 273 crashes in less than a year

Everyone trying to make comparison in this thread are all wrong. We measuring AUTOPILOT trips, not ANY trip.

There is not enough data here to make a meaningful conclusion. If you are trying to determine if autopiliot is safe, you must compare to the TOTAL number of Teslas operating IN autopilot over the same time frame. That data is crucial, and probably top secret Tesla data.

Only a certain number of Teslas were able to enable autopilot. And of those, it only matters to compare to the total number of autopilot usages. That's a pretty small subset. So if only 10,000 cars were used autopilot in the same time period, thats 2.73%, which is an enormous %age of accidents compared to human drivers.
