Tesla Autopilot mode linked to 736 crashes and 17 deaths since 2019

A new analysis by the Washington Post found that there have been 736 crashes involving Tesla vehicles in Autopilot mode since 2019, resulting in at least 17 deaths. Safety experts suggest that the increase in crashes may be related to the expanded rollout of Tesla's Full Self Driving technology, which has been beta-tested by drivers on city streets. Tesla's automation technology requires that the human driver monitor the vehicle and remain in control at all times.
