Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many Tesla Autopilot crashes have resulted in death?

In the Tesla Deaths dataset, there are 51 "Verified Tesla Autopilot Deaths" across 46 incidents. These deaths are defined as crashes involving a Tesla vehicle with Autopilot (i.e., Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and/or Autosteer) activated within 30 seconds prior to the crash. Seven of the Tesla accidents from the dataset appear in the Standing General Order (SGO) on Crash Reporting Level 2 ADAS Report Data flat file as listed as [Unknown - see Narrative] under the "Automation System Engaged?" column while all other fatal Tesla incidents in the file read [ADAS]. The Tesla Deaths dataset team acknowledges this nuance but notes that the provided description for the "Automation System Engaged?" column does not include any negatory values (e.g., [N] or [No]) in its range of possible values (i.e. [ADAS], [ADS], and [Unknown - see Narrative]) and that all reported Tesla fatality cases from the flat file read [REDACTED, MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS INFORMATION] under "Narrative". Given these considerations, we will continue to count the seven [Unknown - see Narrative] Tesla accidents as Verified Tesla Autopilot Deaths until there is reason to think otherwise. One incident, 13781-7197, has been discredited and excluded from all tallies. With all the other incidents listed in the Tesla Death dataset, both the Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer features have been explicitly stated as active by a source except for case number 102. For this case, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Office of Defect Investigations has yet to confirm if both features were active or if only Traffic-Aware Cruise Contr2ol was in use.

The Tesla Deaths dataset relies on two types of data sources to confirm Verified Tesla Autopilot Deaths. The first source is the aforementioned SGO on Crash Reporting Level 2 ADAS Report Data flat file, published by the NHTSA. Using each updated version of the flat file, we filter for [Tesla, Inc.] in the column "Reporting Entity" and [Fatality] in the "Highest Injury" column. We then remove duplicate accients based on values in the "Same Vehicle ID" column. As of the October 2024 release, the NHTSA data contains 36 incidents that, upon cross-referencing with news reports when possible, involved 40 Verified Tesla Autopilot Deaths. The Tesla Deaths dataset case numbers corresponding to the 36 incidents in the SGO flat file are 444.3, 444, 431.1, 410, 385, 377.1, 354.1, 350.1, 348, 342, 335.1, 330, 329, 317, 312.1, 305, 269, 266.1, 265, 263, 253, 248, 247, 235, 226, 225, 219, 216, 200, 198, 173, 159, 133, 119, 85, and 73. Note that the seven incidents mentioned above labeled [Unknown - see Narrative] under "Automation System Engaged?" are case numbers 431.1, 350.1, 266.1, 216, 200, 119, and 85.

The second source of Verified Tesla Autopilot Deaths is derived from news publications and court records. News publications encompass major media organizations such as the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times. The articles utilized from these publications report conclusions from officials like NHTSA, crash scene investigators, and other official sources. To verify that Autopilot was engaged within 30 seconds of the crash, we also rely on expert witness testimonies found in public court records. Archived URLs of the cited articles and court records are provided alongside each incident’s entry in the Tesla Deaths dataset. The Tesla Deaths case numbers for these 10 incidents and 11 deaths are 12, 15, 40, 42, 59, 63, 75, 101, 102, and 117.

Q: What does all of this mean? What can we compare these Tesla accident numbers to?

The IIHS periodically releases fatality data based on car by type and driver deaths per million registered vehicle years. The closest categorization to apply to Tesla's islarge or midsized luxury SUVs as they certainly are not cheap, what with the total cost of a hard-to-find standard Model 3 is still more than 35,000 USD. As shown by the IIHS chart, there are multiple models that have zero. We invite the users to calculate the rates for the other models to understand the comparison better. Furthermore, we attempt to calculate the million registered miles per death for the Tesla fleet based on information from the company itself, but mileage data is no longer released.

Q: Why do you include deaths where the Tesla was not at fault?

NHTSA death statistics cited by Elon Musk do not differentiate between at-fault and not-at-fault. All manufacturers are treated the same way. For the purposes of calculating Tesla fatalities in accordance with NHTSA methodology,
we also do not include the many deaths in other vehicles, despite Teslas being at fault in the majority of those cases.

Q: Why do you include deaths in other vehicles, as well as pedestrian and cyclist deaths?

There is also a column that shows only driver deaths.

Q: Your data captures all driving miles. But Autopilot is safer!

See the Jalopnik article on theResources tab, which discusses the NHTSA coverup of Autopilot data.

Q: You are just counting deaths in news articles. You can't base any conclusions on that.

Deaths reported in news articles are a lower bound on Tesla deaths and Tesla accidents in general.

Q: Tesla only has 3x the driver deaths of luxury vehicles because you're comparing Tesla to Lamborghinis and Bugattis that are seldom driven.

No. The 'Medium' article on theResources tab compares Teslas to BMW, Lexus, and Mercedes.

Q: You include a death where a piece of concrete fell on a Tesla. That's absurd!

See the first question above. Auto fatality statistics includeall deaths, no matter how absurd. So to compare Tesla to other vehicles, we need to include all deaths.
