NHTSA data indicates that the Tesla Model Y is one of the most dangerous cars, but not for the reasons you think. - 15 Nov 2024

- A new study by automotive research firm iSeeCars puts Tesla at the top of the list of automakers with the most frequent occupant fatalities.

- Both the Model Y and Model S are several times more susceptible to fatal accidents than an average car or SUV.

- Teslas have top crash safety ratings from the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS). But distracted driving is a growing headache. ...

Automotive research and data analytics firm iSeeCars said the Tesla Model Y has a fatal accident rate of more than three times the average car over a billion miles driven. The Model S is twice more likely to result in a fatal crash than the average car. ...

“But these safety features are being countered by distracted driving and higher rates of speed, leading to rising accident and death rates in recent years.”

Tesla’s advanced driver assistance systems, Autopilot and Full-Self Driving (both Level 2 systems requiring active driver supervision), are under investigation by the NHTSA for links to crashes and fatalities.

Misleading labels like “Full-Self Driving,” touchscreen-centric controls and driver complacency have raised growing concern over safety. While Teslas and most cars with ADAS include infrared driver-monitoring cameras, they’re far from foolproof.

AI and automation scientists have told InsideEVs that Tesla's approach with FSD, which also underpins its future Robotaxis, has severe drawbacks.

Tesla has the highest fatal accident rate of all car brands, followed by Kia, Buick, Dodge and Hyundai, iSeeCars said. “The biggest contributor to occupant safety is avoiding a crash and the biggest factor in crash avoidance is driver behavior," Brauer said. ....

Which is safer to you, EV or ICE-V car.?

No lah. Tesla cars' misleading FSD/ADAS and Touchscreen-centric controls cause their drivers to be complacent, distracted, jbai, non-smart or fools, unsafe and have issues.

Commercial pilots and airplanes (on Autopilot) have the help of Air Traffic Control (ATC) to ensure safe separation between airplanes and other objects during all phases of flight, eg ATC uses radio communications, radar systems and aircraft transponder to identify and track every aircraft on the move.
....... Tesla drivers and cars (on Auto Pilot) got ATC meh.? .......

In a series of tests run by an independent YouTuber, the Tesla Cybertruck repeatedly failed pedestrian safety tests. - 18 Nov 2024

= pedestrians need to keep as far away as possible from Tesla cars if they see them on the road.
