Tesla Robotaxis Crashing More Often Than Human Drivers

SMRTR summary

Tesla's robotaxi fleet in Austin has crashed 14 times in roughly 800,000 miles since launching last June, creating a collision rate of once every 57,000 miles—four times worse than human drivers who crash every 229,000 miles. This trails competitor Waymo, which averages one accident per 98,000 fully autonomous miles across a larger fleet in multiple cities. Tesla has been slow to report crashes to federal regulators and heavily censors incident details in safety filings.
