According to news on May 23, after the fourth quarter of 2022, Tesla finally released its Autopilot safety data report again after more than a year.

Tesla said that with Autopilot turned on, an accident will occur on average every 7.63 million miles (note: approximately 12.2793 million kilometers). For owners who do not use Autopilot, there is an average of one accident every 955,000 miles driven.

By comparison, the most recent data (from 2022) provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) show that the average U.S. vehicle owner is involved in one crash every 670,000 miles driven.

In fact, Tesla has been in the habit of releasing a "vehicle safety report" on a quarterly basis, by tracking the miles traveled by its vehicles between accidents with or without Autopilot and comparing it to industry averages. .

Tesla claims that its Autopilot makes for a safer driving experience and that even without Autopilot its crash rate is well below the U.S. average.

Tesla's report shows that its first-quarter 2023 data has regressed compared with safety data for the same period last year. This may be why Tesla failed to provide this data last year.
