Recently, according to data from Tesla's 2021 impact report, Tesla vehicles using Autopilot vehicles have an eight-fold lower chance of accidents compared to traffic accidents in the United States, and Tesla has long been concerned about the safety of its vehicles, especially those equipped with Autopilot driver assistance features, and Tesla Autopilot contains a number of features designed to help drivers "complete the most onerous driving parts", its functions include:
Navigate On Autopilot: "Navigate on Autopilot recommends lane changes to optimize your route and make adjustments to avoid getting stuck in slow cars or trucks for long periods of time, and when enabled, autonomous navigation automatically steers your vehicle to highway intersections and exits based on your destination"
Autonomous Driving: "Using advanced cameras, sensors and computing power to allow your Tesla to drive on narrower, more complex roads"
Smart Summon: "With Smart Summon, your car will navigate in more complex environments and parking spaces, maneuvering as needed to find you in the parking lot"
In the Tesla 2021 Impact Report released last Friday, Tesla continued to lead in safety statistics, detailing that Tesla surpassed other vehicles that did not use active safety features in the safety space: "In 2021, our drivers recorded only 0.22 accidents per million miles when using autopilot technology (auto steering and active safety features), for those who did not use Autopilot technology (no Autosteer). and active safety features) for drivers, our data is 0.77 accidents per million miles traveled, compared to the latest NHTSA data, according to the latest data from NHTSA, there are an average of 1.81 accidents per million miles traveled. ”
These data once again prove that Tesla Autopilot's safety features are very effective, although Tesla autopilot and full autopilot are not perfect systems and still have many flaws, but compared to today's driving situation they are already very safe, and for autopilot assist systems, Tesla still insists that drivers need to always put their hands on the steering wheel, and must be vigilant when driving vehicles, While some social media or celebrities have falsely flaunted Tesla's capabilities for full self-driving and self-driving kits, the company has not claimed that these cars are capable of self-driving.
