Part 5/9:
Data has suggested that Tesla vehicles account for the majority of incidents involving advanced driver-assistance systems. Reports indicate that of the 45 fatal crashes documented by the NHTSA, Tesla vehicles were involved in 40, raising serious concerns about the safety of self-driving technology. As the government began to scrutinize this phenomenon, individual cases drew significant media attention, including a harrowing incident in North Carolina where a 10th grader stepped off a school bus only to be struck by a Tesla in autopilot mode, resulting in life-threatening injuries.
