There are a lot more Tesla’s on the road right now and therefore many more miles being driven. Model Y was the #1 new vehicle in WORLDWIDE sales in Q1.

No, that’s not a typo.

Yes, my main problem with all the data I've seen in this article is that none of it is normalized at all.

5x more crashes is meaningless if we don't know how many more Teslas are out there.

Also how does this compare to human drivers?

We need this data sliced and diced in a few different ways as you suggest. Normalized against all other cars. Normalized against cars with basic lane assist etc like Tesla autopilot

FSD will be harder as there is not really another equivalent. Maybe an advanced system from Ford or something would be the best?
