The report seems focused more on crash rates, accident involvement, rates with Autopilot / Full Self-Driving vs without, and active/passive safety systems. Has zero insight into touchscreen and their safety issues. Also from the car manufacturer not independent and isn’t without bias. | ||

I do not trust anything coming out of Tesla. If you have a third party report that would be more credible (i.e. a report not made by car companies or their customers). | ||

That data doesn't seem to be talking about the same thing - ie touchscreens vs physical controls. | ||

The data you provided contrasts Teslas (exclusively touch screens) against all other cars (many of which also have touch screens). It doesn’t even pretend to control for other relevant variables, and makes precisely no assertions about touch screens vs. non touch screens. All it “proves” is that riding a mile in a random Tesla is safer than riding a mile in a randomly chosen non-Tesla. Why yes, any Tesla is likely safer than my 1998 Lexus ES300 in a variety of ways. No, that doesn’t mean that the touchscreen is what makes it safe. | ||
