According to @SawyerMerritt, new data from Tesla reveals that vehicles using Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised AI logged 5,109,476 miles per major collision, significantly outperforming the U.S. average of 698,781 miles per collision. Teslas with FSD (Supervised) experienced 715 major collisions over 3.65 billion miles, while manually driven Teslas with Active Safety had 14,943 collisions over 34.2 billion miles, and those without Active Safety had 226 over 219 million miles. These results highlight the business potential of AI-powered driver assistance systems, demonstrating improved safety performance compared to both traditional driving and other Tesla configurations. For the AI industry, this data supports the case for scalable deployment of supervised autonomous driving technologies, providing a concrete market advantage for companies investing in real-world AI safety applications (source: Sawyer Merritt via Twitter).
