Tesla defends Autopilot in first quarterly safety report
Over the past year, Tesla has received a lot of flak for being involved in crashes and accidents while Autopilot was engaged. Back in March, a Model X crashed into a median barrier, claiming the life of an Apple engineer. A few months after that, a Model S crashed into a parked police SUV in Laguna Beach. Now, the automaker is defending itself and Autopilot in its first ever quarterly vehicle safety report for Q3 2018. According to the company, it has only registered one accident or "crash-like event" for every 3.34 million miles driven with Autopilot engaged over the past quarter.
