| Note: AutoPilot released Oct 14, 2015 |
Frequently Asked QuestionsQ: How many Tesla Autopilot crashes have resulted in death?
Based on cross-verified data from NHTSA investigations and reports (e.g. telemtric data from Tesla compiled in the NHTSA Standing General Order on Crash Reporting ("SGO") portal) as well as expert testimony in court cases pertaining to the specific crashes, the confirmed total of Tesla Autopilot crashes, i.e. incidents where Autopilot was active within 30 seconds of the crash, is currently sixteen crashes leading to nineteen deaths. Of note, there are three incidents each involving one fatality reported in the SGO that we have yet to cross-verify with media coverage.Q: What does all of this mean? What can we compare these Tesla accident numbers to?
The IIHS periodically releases fatality data based on car by type and driver deaths per million registered vehicle years. The closest categorization to apply to Tesla's is large or midsized luxury SUVs as they certainly are not cheap, what with the total cost of a hard-to-find standard Model 3 is still more than 35,000 USD. As shown by the IIHS chart, there are multiple models that have zero. We invite the users to calculate the rates for the other models to understand the comparison better. Furthermore, we attempt to calculate the million registered miles per death for the Tesla fleet based on information from the company itself, but mileage data is no longer released.
Available at IIHS.org

Q: Why do you include deaths where the Tesla was not at fault?
NHTSA death statistics cited by Elon Musk do not differentiate between at-fault and not-at-fault. All manufacturers are treated the same way. For the purposes of calculating Tesla fatalities in accordance with NHTSA methodology, we also do not include the many deaths in other vehicles, despite Teslas being at fault in the majority of those cases.Q: Why do you include deaths in other vehicles, as well as pedestrian and cyclist deaths?
There is also a column that shows only driver deaths.Q: Your data captures all driving miles. But Autopilot is safer!
See the Jalopnik article on the Resources tab, which discusses the NHTSA coverup of Autopilot data.Q: You are just counting deaths in news articles. You can't base any conclusions on that.
Deaths reported in news articles are a lower bound on Tesla deaths and Tesla accidents in general.Q: Tesla only has 3x the driver deaths of luxury vehicles because you're comparing Tesla to Lamborghinis and Bugattis that are seldom driven.
No. The 'Medium' article on the Resources tab compares Teslas to BMW, Lexus, and Mercedes.Q: You include a death where a piece of concrete fell on a Tesla. That's absurd!
See the first question above. Auto fatality statistics include all deaths, no matter how absurd. So to compare Tesla to other vehicles, we need to include all deaths.
