According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), crash rates for Tesla vehicles have dropped by 40% since Autopilot was introduced. Tesla is already selling its own car insurance in Australia and Hong Kong - believing that traditional premiums do not reflect better safety - and the company may eventually include insurance in the final price of the car.
According to a report by the National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA), crash rates for Tesla vehicles have dropped 40% since Autopilot was first installed, and the cars are designed to get safer with Tesla's new Autopilot 2 technology.
