It seems, at least for now, that Tesla’s autonomous vehicles are driving worse than the average driver. The initial statistics on Robotaxi show that they get into accidents more frequently. According to NHTSA, in the US, drivers average an accident roughly every 500,000 miles. Even if these figures are adjusted to be more realistic, they still do not compare to Tesla’s rates.
From July to November 2025, there were reports from NHTSA of nine accidents involving autonomous Model Y vehicles operating in Austin as part of the driverless taxi project. Combined, during this time, Tesla cars covered approximately the same 500,000 miles, making it easy to calculate that they are roughly nine times more likely to get into accidents. Naturally, in reality, humans do get into accidents more often, as NHTSA’s stats consider only registered cases. Yet, the difference with Tesla is striking.
