Tesla presented misleading ‘Full Self-Driving’ safety data to European regulators: Reuters

Summary
In its efforts to secure European approval of its “Full Self-Driving” (FSD) system, Tesla has presented self-published safety statistics to regulators in Sweden and the Netherlands that independent traffic-safety researchers have said amount to misleading marketing. A Reuters examination published last month found that Tesla ​CEO Elon Musk and other leaders over the past year have increasingly cited statistics they say prove its FSD driver-assistance feature is up to 10 times safer than human drivers. But the ‌news agency’s review found several invalid data comparisons underlying Tesla’s statistics, opens new tab that exaggerated its safety claims.
