FYI, that 99.999999 number you quoted is still bad. It means around 30 minutes of the machine actively trying to kill you or others while driving on public roads. I assumed a person driving 2 hours a day for a year.

FSD should not be allowed on the road, or if it is it should be labeled as what it really is: lane assist.



I'm not 'quoting' any numbers. I don't own a Tesla. I don't trust lane assist technology, the probability of catastrophic failure is much larger even compared with dynamic cruise control. I'll steer the wheel thank you very much. I'm not a techno-optimist, rather the contrary. I would like independent verification of the safety claims Tesla makes, or any other claims made by vendors of safety-critical devices.

What I am saying is that selection bias has exploded in the age of viral videos, and this phenomenon doesn't receive anywhere near the attention it deserves. We can't make sound judgements based on online videos, we need quality data.
