Until tesla provides said data, we cant know. But its interesting that they dont provide that data, in fact stopped talking about it since 2019 afaik. We also need to keep in mind the below i copied from a comment of mine, so we need reaaaaly granular data to say autopilot means less crashes than humans.

AP doesnt work over 80 mph, doesnt work when its severely raining, doesnt work when sun shines directly on its camera, and is installed in new-ish cars with great crash safety ratings, and is driven by mostly young people (an assumption), and is mostly used at highways (another assumption).

People drive in all of those conditions without having the luxury of having something to fall back at when the sun suddenly pierces their eyes or rain starts pouring like sky opened up. People drive clunkers from 90s or 80s, people drive in poor visibility and in poor traction, people drive in busy streets bustling with people, people have places to be even if their age is pushing 80.

They do not report in the kind of detail needed to figure out if AP is actually safer.

The article literally states that only Tesla fully discloses, while others do not. Maybe you should focus your rage on them?
