> The data does show the average Tesla driver with AP is about 10x less likely to have an accident, and less likely to die or be injured in an accident if they do have one, than the average overall driver. So if a driver is going to make a terrible choice to be distracted or inattentive while driving, I’d rather they did it in a Tesla with AP enabled

Do you have a source for those statistics? The last time I saw Autopilot safety statistics, they were all very misleading - e.g. comparing "autopilot on" miles [mostly highway] to all miles drive in the US, or comparing pre-autopilot Teslas to post-autopilot Teslas (the pre-Autopilot Teslas didn't even have basic AEB, which is now standard on even entry-level cars), stuff like that
