Of course, that article is mostly about the problematic way aircraft safety ratings are measured. Doing it by flight hours doesn't work so well when the aircraft covers nearly two and a half times the same distance in the same number of hours. In any case, the way the statistics are done with cars, clearly one extra car accident is not actually going to reduce the safety rating of the car to any significant degree.
Are you being sarcastic? This article says six cars were safer than the Model 3 and concludes that Teslas are NOT the safest cars. Read to the very end.
When Tesla started the public pre-alpha test of "full self driving" they said that their spyware would select responsible, careful customers to be test drivers. They chose this guy.
Why is Tesla even allowing customers to use this broken feature? They should be paying trained, monitored drivers to do this work.
It's a PR stunt to generate some hype from YouTube videos and breathless articles, as well as to trick customers into thinking that it is coming soon and stave off lawsuits from the ones who have been
The Darwin Awards are retarded cope for mean-spirited people. Nature doesn't care if you died doing something stupid or not, nor does it affect evolution any more or less than any other type of death. A child dying from a freak internal hemorrhage is as much deserving of an evolutionary "award" as idiots fucking around in a Tesla for an Instagram story. Both are equal examples of selection at play.

But when he realized that he had killed people, he did a runner.
This could be a real advantage of autonomous cars. If things go wrong then just be gone.
