Elektrek also crunched some numbers based on data released by Tesla last month and estimated that the Tesla Robotaxis are involved in a crash for every 40,000 miles they drive. For comparison, the publication reported, cars driven by humans crash about once every 500,000 miles, meaning the Robotaxis so far have crashed 12.5 times more frequently than human-driven cars.
All of the Robotaxi crashes so far have occurred with human safety monitors—who have been trained to take control of the car in the event of a software error—present in the vehicles.
This is significant because, as TechCrunch reported on Monday, Tesla is starting to send out its Robotaxi fleet without safety monitors.
There is a cure for that: Fine, record and score sny observation of unsafe behaviour, and when the score exceeds a threshold, take away the license.
As you say, it is only necessary to annulate the license of the 5% most dangerous drivers to reduce accidents by a factor of twenty. And the latter is absolutely a worthy goal.
