Tesla Drivers: High Accident Rates and Autopilot Claims

Tesla drivers have the highest accident rate among all car brands, with 23.54 accidents per 1,000 drivers, according to a LendingTree analysis. This comes as Tesla recently recalled over 2 million vehicles due to a safety issue related to its Autopilot software. The recall aims to address the misuse of the driver-assistance feature, which requires drivers to remain attentive and ready to intervene. Critics argue that the recall fails to address the fundamental flaw of allowing Autopilot to be used on roads with cross traffic, which has been a contributing factor in many accidents.
