How many crashes have there been involving human error since 2019? Hundreds of thousands? and deaths? 10's of thousands? Sounds like Tesla wins that argument....

Depends on the ratio of miles driven in autopilot telsas vs everything else. I'd have no way of guessing which is the more dangerous one, per mile, but self-driving will eventually be the safer route. No doubt.

Add to this, we have no way to independently verify Tesla's claim that self driving mode is safer as Tesla has not made the data they collect available for independent verification.
