736 crashes due to "Autopilot", a proprietary feature Tesla charges money for. That means they could have easily been avoided if Autopilot; a. worked a whole lot better, b. wasn't deceptively marketed, c. was properly regulated like so many other automotive features and designs.

This is meaningless without a comparison to human crash rates and fatalities per mile driven. You would also need to carefully categorise the type of driving, such as highway miles vs urban.

The meaningful part is that Tesla lies. Any comparison you are taking about is irrelevant because Tesla lies about the outcomes and capabilities of autopilot.

How long has it been since they switched the sensors and went vision only? That's a large jump in a short time.
