Tesla leads the government’s list of vehicle crashes including active driver-assist technology, which automakers claim makes driving safer. Tesla’s results were significantly higher than those of its competitors, most likely because it sells more vehicles equipped with Level 2 technologies than its competitors. Tesla also collects real-time telematics data from its clients, which allows for considerably speedier reporting.
According to the NHTSA, there were 273 crashes involving Tesla vehicles utilizing Autopilot between July 20th, 2021, and May 21st, 2022. The incidents recorded by the EV firm account for the majority of the overall 392 crashes documented during that time period.
