Summary
Car Crash Injury Oregon in injury, Oregon: A Reuters investigation found that Tesla submitted inaccurate safety data to regulators in Sweden and the Netherlands as it sought approval for its Full Self-Driving mode. Tesla policy manager Ivan Komusanac told Swedish regulators that FSD-equipped Teslas drive more than seven times farther between crashes than the average U.S. driver, with a companion slide projecting that widespread FSD adoption could have saved 32,000 lives and prevented 1.9 million injuries. Independent researchers found that Tesla mismatched data by counting only severe crashes for its own cars while using a broader figure for overall crash rates, and assumed every vehicle would be replaced by an FSD-equipped Tesla.
