Tesla Autopilot safety data report missing, reasons mysterious

According to news on October 18, Tesla has not released Autopilot safety data for nearly a year, confusing the outside world. The decision is disappointing because Tesla has failed to deliver on its promises while remaining opaque about data from its Autopilot system. Since 2018, Tesla has been trying to establish a safety baseline for its Autopilot system through quarterly reports that compare accidents per certain miles driven with Autopilot on and off. However, in 2022, Tesla suddenly stopped publishing these quarterly reports without providing any explanation.

In January 2023, the company released its report for the first three quarters of 2022. This was followed a few months later by a fourth-quarter report.

Data release suspended

After releasing the fourth quarter report, the company stopped data release and has not released new data for nearly a year.

Data Objectivity

Autopilot system is mainly used on highways, so these data are not completely objective.

NHTSA DATA COMPARISON

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) data covers crashes in all locations and vehicle types, including older vehicles that are poorly maintained and more prone to crashes. That's not fair compared to newer cars like Teslas.

Reason for Stopping Release

Possible reasons why Tesla stopped releasing data include:

1. The report was found not to be as useful as expected.
2. The Autopilot system has not improved significantly over the past year, a fact that Tesla may be trying to hide.
