But if every human driver was replaced with self driving how many accidents would there be? You assume it would be less, but thats an assumption. There isn't any data that proves it would be less, which is what we are saying.
I respect you've been using FSD for 6 months with no accidents, but like I said I have been driving for 30 years with no accidents. So, 6 months doesn't convince me its safer than me.

There is plenty of data, Billions of hours and miles of FSD since it's inception. There is also my observation of over 30 years of driving and observing how the majority of people have no idea how to drive

Even Elon says we are still 2B miles short of the data he wants to see.

makes way less mistakes than humans, way, way less. And FSD had lots of issues before v13 and v14 and hardware v4. Yes FSD needs more training, but as it stands right now with my 6 months of using it in different cities and conditions reinforces that it drives better than any human when it comes to accident avoidance. I stand by that 1000 percent

Tesla is transparent about this, keeps a running total, and explains their methodology and bases for comparison:

Um, Tesla publishes data on this. It's you spouting opinions on a tech you've never used. I can care less if it moves any of your needles

And the data is not yet enough to prove that its safer than I myself would be. We can disagree on this, its okay. You trust tech over yourself I trust myself over tech, thats just a difference in mentality. That mentality isn't going to change. I don't like to be driven by other people either, I prefer to drive myself.
Its "I couldn't care less" when you say "I can care less" it means you do care. Just sayin

And there have been accidents. The data from FSD users now doesn't solve for the population of all drivers. Your observations are not empirical on any level...hence why its your assumption. I also am not an average driver, I'm an above average driver so for me that factors into it as well.
Even Elon says we are still 2B miles short of the data he wants to see.

As for Musk's 10bn mile data target, we're now only about 800 million miles short.
