Tesla FSD has 86% fewer collisions than human average, AI doesn't need to be perfect

The post discusses the double standard applied to AI safety versus human safety. While humans crash daily due to fatigue, distraction, or impairment with little news coverage, minor AI incidents are widely reported. Tesla's latest data shows FSD is roughly 7x safer (86% lower collision rate) than the U.S. human average. The core argument is that autonomy doesn't need to be perfect to save lives; it just needs to be dramatically better than human drivers.
