Autopilot and FSD Beta are two different systems of which autopilot is the less advanced one. There’s only one death ever linked to the use of FSD Beta and that includes the older versions aswell.

I know. Tesla has already advertised that their newer system is fully based on ANN. Factoring in their current track record doesn’t inspire any confidence in me. I’m not reading that paywalled article, but one death for a system that only had limited rollout until very recently isn’t enough to make me believe it’s reasonably safe either. There just isn’t trustworthy, large-scale data out there yet. We need to keep the perspective in mind here: this is pretty much Tesla’s last chance to actually make good on their empty promises and they have a lot to prove.

At this point I’m not willing to take any statistical claim coming from Tesla, salt or not.
