"Tesla's new Autopilot safety report shows crashes rising for a third straight quarter. Tesla claims Autopilot users are nine times less likely to crash than unassisted drivers, but that's down from ten times safer earlier this year. Tesla still withholds detailed Autopilot safety data, so we can't really have a clear picture of how safe it really is. Tesla has never released a detailed safety report on Autopilot or Full Self-Driving (FSD), probably because it might paint the automaker-turned-autonomous-vehicle-and-artificial-intelligence company in a bad light."
"According to the new report, vehicles equipped with Autopilot experienced one crash for every 6.36 million miles driven. Tesla points to 2023 data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), which states that the national average of miles driven before a crash is around 702,000 miles. Big picture, the numbers have improved considerably since Q3 2018, when it filed the first such report."
Crashes involving vehicles running Autopilot rose for a third consecutive quarter, with Tesla reporting Autopilot-equipped cars experienced one crash per 6.36 million miles in Q3 2025. Tesla reports Autopilot users are about nine times less likely to crash than the U.S. national average, citing 2023 NHTSA and FHWA data that put the national miles-per-crash at roughly 702,000. Tesla continues to withhold detailed Autopilot and Full Self-Driving safety data and releases only a single comparative statistic each quarter. Historical data show improvement since Q3 2018, but recent quarterly reports indicate a downward safety trend.
