Elon claims that Tesla FSD can do 10k miles without needing any intervention. That is roughly once every year. Though he says this like it's a positive thing, that means you should basically never be getting into his robotaxis.

First, his numbers are way better than what people with Teslas currently report. The average Tesla owner reports needing to intervene every 500 miles driven, or roughly once every 2 weeks.

But even if we buy what Elon is saying, that means every one of his robotaxis is going to get into an accident of some kind at least once a year!

By contrast, human drivers have small accidents every 100000 miles. And waymo only gets into an accident every 2.3 MILLION miles.

Also, it's a robotaxi. What is he expecting, the passenger sitting in the back seat to reach over and turn the steering wheel to avoid a crash?

I'm sticking with Waymo. Thanks though!
