From the article... Tesla vehicles made up nearly 70 percent of the 392 crashes involving advanced driver-assistance systems reported since last July

Do Teslas make up 70% of vehicles with advanced driver assistance? Here's a list of cars with these systems.[1] That's a lot of models, so it certainly appears Tesla has an outsized proportion of crashes.

Poor comparison. The comparison is what percentage of vehicles that operate with functional assist are Tesla vehicles.


This why we would use rates per company vs absolute numbers. Takes most of the speculation out.


Not all of the vehicles listed qualify as "advanced driver assistance" by the NHTSA definition.

A comparison of miles driven with the systems active, normalized for road conditions, is not currently possible, but would be the most useful metric.
