Car Safety (Patreon)

In the last 5 years, drivers of typical vehicles had an 11.8% chance of a car accident. Tesla drivers experienced a lower 5.4% chance, and those using Tesla’s Autopilot saw only a 1.5% chance.

Why Driving Is So Dangerous:

Driving is inherently risky due to a combination of human, environmental, and mechanical factors. Human error, such as distracted driving (e.g., texting, fatigue), speeding, or impaired driving, accounts for roughly 90% of crashes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). I have noticed that drivers have gotten far worse since 2020.
