In 2017, the USA had 37,133 motor vehicle fatalities, at a rate of 11.6 per billion vehicle miles driven.

I’m having difficulty finding a recent figure for how many miles Tesla autopilot has driven, but they reached over 1.2 billion by July last year.

3 deaths is 3 too many, of course, but it’s also 10.9 less than one should expect for 1.2 billion miles driven.
