    but can you share a source that says Tesla are inherently worse in crashes than other vehicles?

    From the article you’re commenting on:

    A Reuters analysis of the NHTSA crash data shows Tesla accounted for 40 out of 45 fatal crashes reported to NHTSA through Oct. 15.

    That seems to be fairly relevant when they’re such a small percentage of total cars…

    I have zero idea why you’re jumping from Teslas to all EVs.

    But under testing scenarios the brakes are usually hit before impact. Tesla dumps autopilot to avoid it being blamed and a human doesn’t have time to hit the brakes.

    Other self driving stays engaged and brakes, even non self driving has autobrakes, Tesla’s effectively don’t when in self driving, I get that part is confusing, but I’ve explained it at length. If something isn’t clear about that still, please be specific.
