6M US car crashes a year: why FSD could make accidents optional once insurers price it in
GabGarrett · x · 2026-10-05
Quoting a Tesla owner raving that FSD makes every drive feel like "the car is driving," an X user argues that of the roughly 6 million US car accidents involving 11 million cars each year, most are now optional. The tipping point, he predicts, will come when insurers charge significantly more for non-FSD vehicles — making human driving's risks undeniable. The quoted post adds that drunk driving, texting drivers and road rage could soon become historical problems.
