    I was looking up info for another comment and found this site. It’s from 2021, but the information seems solid.

    https://www.flyingpenguin.com/?p=35819

    This table was probably most interesting, unfortunately the formatting doesn’t work on mobile, but I think you can make sense of it.

    Car 2021 Sales So Far Total Deaths

    Tesla Model S 5,155 40

    Porsche Taycan 5,367 ZERO

    Tesla Model X 6,206 14

    Volkswagen ID 6,230 ZERO

    Audi e-tron 6,884 ZERO

    Nissan Leaf 7,729 2

    Ford Mustang Mach-e 12,975 ZERO

    Chevrolet Bolt 20,288 1

    Tesla Model 3 51,510 87

    So many cars with zero deaths compared to Tesla.

    It isn’t if Tesla’s FSD is safer than humans, it’s if it’s keeping up with the automotive industry in terms of safety features. It seems like they are falling behind (despite what their marketing team claims).

        If not, that would indicate that this newfangled self-driving is more dangerous than a little ol’ “caught in the stone-age” Nissan Leaf, wouldn’t it?
