FSD as it is currently with human supervision is 10x safer than driving without FSD. Source Tesla 2025 Q2 report vs reports from NHTSA.
Edit: some time in and I’ve only gotten ad hominem responses insults and downvotes. Please make a convincing argument that I’m wrong or maybe realize you’re just downvoting facts you don’t like if you don’t bring your own.
Edit: non Tesla source showing only two fatalities over all FSD miles, no matter what number you come up with for miles with FSD even at 10% of Teslas reported numbers it’s safer than a human.
The key is “with human supervision”. Calling it Full Self Driving with “Supervised” in parentheses aftwards while putting out videos where they say the only reason there’s some behind the wheel is because of regulations (those annoying “regulations” amirite?) leads people to think they don’t really need to supervise the driving of the car.
Couple that with the fact that there are actual full self driving cars (Waymo) there’s even greater confusion.
People have been killed because of the misconceptions about Telsa cars actually being full self driving. Which they aren’t, they cheap out on the hardware needed for that to be possible, let alone the software.
I agree the terminology is misleading and should be changed. If you’ve ever driven in one no driver with it on can be confused, the system will yell at you to look at the road.
Waymo is ahead right now in geofenced areas for sure, I like Waymo, this post was just specifically about Tesla.
Whether FSD is possible with out LiDAR is still an open question, but I think the safety personnel in Austin will be removed soon which will answer that question.
This conversation isn’t productive. Agree to disagree have a nice day.
Edit: lol still downvoting me while you never provided your “easy to find” video showing FSD is easily fooled. Downvotes and mocking don’t make a good argument.
Tesla autopilot performs better than humans per mile because it runs mostly on the freeway which has a far lower chance of accidents per mile than slower city areas which are more difficult to navigate.
I won’t retract my statement but I added a link to tesladeaths.com showing that FSD has only caused 2 fatalities over its entire lifetime of miles. Even at 1/10th of Tesla’s reported miles that’s safer than a human.
Neither of those deaths were the current software version either so currently FSD 13.2.9 has caused 0 fatalities.
And that very case found the driver, who was actively pressing the accelerator pedal while leaning below the dashboard grabbing his phone 2/3rds at fault.
Again you’ve yet to actually debate my sources or provide your own. You may continue to insult me or mock me as much as you want but I’m not interested in a conversation without actual discussion of the facts.

Bot found
Did you even look at my account/post history?
Yes.
Tesla autopilot performs better than humans per mile because it runs mostly on the freeway which has a far lower chance of accidents per mile than slower city areas which are more difficult to navigate.
So you admit I’m not a bot? A persistent chiefs fan is a real person.
I will if you retract your statement about Tesla being better than real drivers by using Tesla as a source.

Tesla lies about this stuff why would I trust them https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/florida-keys/article311553847.html
My source wasn’t Tesla.
And that very case found the driver, who was actively pressing the accelerator pedal while leaning below the dashboard grabbing his phone 2/3rds at fault.

Care to respond to my argument with reason or evidence and not resort to ad-hominem?
that wasn’t an ad hominem, it was an insult
Calling me stupid is attacking my character in my view but sure I mislabeled it when it was an insult. Your point?
