Why Tesla Autopilot Safety Numbers Are Now Unavailable

Tesla stopped reporting its Autopilot safety numbers last year soon after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began collecting and releasing autonomous driving crash data, the Los Angeles Times reported. Tesla didn't say why it stopped posting that data online, but company critics have a theory why the safety numbers are no longer publicly available. "Because it's gotten a lot worse," said Taylor Ogan, chief executive at fund management firm Snow Bull Capital On Thursday, NHTSA announced it opened investigations into two recent crashes in addition to the dozens of automated-driving Tesla incidents that it's already investigating. The Times had reported in July that Tesla CEO Elon Musk had known about multiple safety complaints and accidents involving Tesla's Full Self-Driving system when testing began on public roads with Tesla's FSD beta program. There has not been one accident or injury since FSD beta launch.
