Tesla Autopilot Death

May 7, a man died in his Tesla Model S when it collided with a truck while under the control of its Autopilot system. This is after 130 million miles of autopilot driving. If this turns out to be a typical death rate, that puts it just slightly better than death rates when cars are driven by humans. With a bit more work the autopilot death rate should drop to be significantly lower than the death rate with human pilots. -- Rick C

I believe the 130 million mile figure was for the autopilot driving.
