Despite Musk’s Claims, Tesla’s ‘Autopilot’ Results in Increased Crashes and Fatalities

Tesla’s Autopilot, the company’s driver-assistance system, has been involved in significantly more crashes than previously reported, according to an analysis by The Washington Post of National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data. The analysis found that since 2019, there have been 736 U.S. crashes involving Teslas in Autopilot mode, with 17 of those incidents resulting in fatalities. The data also shows a significant rise in the number of deaths and serious injuries associated with Autopilot. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has defended driver-assistance technology, arguing that it reduces injury and death, but experts are questioning the safety of Autopilot and its growing presence on America’s highways.
