Tesla: "we count all crashes in which the incident alert indicated an airbag or other active restraint deployed."
NHTSA: "A review of NHTSA’s 2021 FARS and Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS) finds that only 18 percent of police-reported crashes include airbag deployments."
Tesla: "In the 4th quarter, we recorded one crash for every 5.39 million miles driven in which drivers were using Autopilot technology. For drivers who were not using Autopilot technology, we recorded one crash for every 1.00 million miles driven. By comparison, the most recent data available from
NHTSA and
FHWA (from 2022) shows that in the United States there was an automobile crash approximately every 670,000 miles."
