Tesla Autopilot Crashes Surge Despite Elon Musk's Assurances.

Tesla's Autopilot driver-assistance system has been involved in 736 crashes in the US since 2019, far more than previously reported, according to a Washington Post analysis of National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data. The number of deaths and serious injuries associated with Autopilot has also grown significantly, with at least 17 fatal incidents and five serious injuries. Experts have raised concerns about the technology's safety, with some blaming Tesla CEO Elon Musk's decisions, such as expanding the availability of the features and stripping the vehicles of radar sensors, for contributing to the reported uptick in incidents.
