      That site is behind a paywall to me so this might’ve been addressed, but to play devils advocate I’m wondering about the rate of incidents between Tesla and all other manufacturers combined?

      Now it could just be that I’m in the Midwest, where we’re only ahead of the south when it comes to adopting changes, but I practically see no other EVs still other than Teslas. I’m talking 8 Teslas before I see one Chevy Volte or something

      Autopilot systems have been involved in far more incidents than driver-assistance systems from all other manufacturers combined

      Do they also get used more often than all other manufacturers combined? What matters here is the rate of accidents, and this statement tells us nothing about the rate of accidents.
