Tesla FSD Safety Statistics Skewed
A recent report from heise online indicates that Tesla's published safety data for Full Self-Driving (FSD) may be statistically skewed. The analysis suggests that accident rates are not directly comparable to human drivers, as FSD is primarily used on simpler routes. This raises questions about the system's actual safety.
Estonia Grants Approval
Despite these concerns, Estonia has become the first Baltic country to grant approval for Tesla's FSD. This could set a precedent for other EU states, although UNECE regulations still impose stricter requirements. For details on Estonia's decision, see Tesla FSD in Europe: Estonia gives green light.
Comparison: USA vs. Europe
Technical Challenges
The hardware differences between HW3 and HW4 play a role. In Europe, additional sensors may be required, as discussed in Tesla Hardware Comparison.
Conclusion
FSD approval in Estonia is an important step, but the statistical skew remains a problem. Further testing is needed to ensure safety.
