Tesla has released new data that has the potential to redefine the future of autonomous driving. The company claims that cars equipped with its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) system have 85% fewer crashes, 35,000 fewer deaths, and 2 million fewer injuries than in normal human driving.
This new data from Tesla supports the old statement by CEO Elon Musk, who has consistently said that autopilot driving can help tremendously reduce road accidents, most of which are caused by human error. The new information creates a strong image of how technology might make the roads safer, lives longer, and the driving process more efficient than ever.
FSD (Supervised): How It Works
Tesla’s FSD (Supervised) system represents the company’s most advanced AI driving capability to date. FSD (Supervised), unlike the standard driver-assist systems of Autopilot or Navigate on Autopilot, allows the vehicle to handle urban driving operations, including turning at crossroads, maneuvering in crossroads, and reacting to dynamic road conditions, all being supervised by the driver.
The system is based on the vision-perceiving neural network developed by Tesla, which was trained on billions of miles of real-world driving data from the Tesla fleet worldwide. FSD constantly enhances its knowledge of real-life situations using eight exterior cameras, advanced AI processing, and a Tesla Dojo supercomputer (in-house).

This is because the term Supervised implies that drivers are supposed to be vigilant and prepared to take over at any given time. Nevertheless, users note that the most recent version of FSD is more natural, confident, and human-like than it has been previously, a promising move toward regulators considering the safety factor.
Numbers That Speak Volumes
According to the reports by Tesla, there is a significant increase in the levels of safety:
Reduced Crashes by 85%: The statistics indicate that Tesla cars that operate under FSD (Supervised) have a much lower risk of being in a crash than manually operated cars.
35,000 Fewer Fatalities: When Tesla applies the same calculations on a national level, it also predicts that tens of thousands of lives would be saved every single year if every driver adopts FSD technology.
2 Million Fewer Injuries: After the frequency of accidents is lowered, this will equate to a lower number of injuries, as well as insurance expenses, and a decrease in the amount of pressure on emergency services.
These figures are not just theoretical. Tesla’s fleet covers billions of miles every year, which gives the company practical information about the functioning of its systems in various traffic conditions, such as in congested urban areas and on high-speed highways.
Tesla is a data-driven company when it comes to safety. Each Tesla is a sensor on the road, gathering data on driving and sending it into the neural networks of Tesla. This massive pool of actual data enables the AI to be trained on almost any possible scenario, from near misses to unusual road patterns.
It is this self-feedback that makes FSD special. Conventional car manufacturers use one-dimensional safety tests, whereas AI developed by Tesla constantly improves and gains new features in response to human actions and unforeseen conditions on the road.
