Driving a car is quite different from piloting an aircraft.
I think Tesla and other makers should call the devices "autodrivers." Also, maybe you could find the accident stats for other cars of comparable price and the folks that drive them. I think safe driving may not be as common among twenty year old drivers with twenty year old Chevys. |

4.2 secs, via the latest software update. Right now it's unclear whether they improved it, or whether they just changed the rating, after many testers found the 0-60 to be closer to 4.2 under real world conditions.
This means the $2000 "Acceleration Boost" upgrade now takes it to 3.7 seconds, if I ever have 2000 spare dollars just sitting around and I want to go really really really fast. The "Full Self Driving" upgrade is now $10,000, after they released a new beta version which vastly improved the feature. When I first bought the car, this upgrade was $7,000. |

Not sure what those conditions might be. |
