Tesla Shares Unprecedented Data on Self-Driving Safety

In a move towards greater transparency, Tesla has published detailed data on the performance and safety of its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) software. According to the company, as of November 15, 2025, Tesla owners using the FSD system in North America are driving around 5 million miles before experiencing a major collision, and around 1.5 million miles before a minor collision.

This data suggests Tesla's FSD software is outperforming the national averages, which show people get into a major collision every 699,000 miles and a minor one every 229,000 miles, based on statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

However, the release of this data comes just weeks after Waymo's co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana called on companies to be more transparent about the safety of their self-driving technologies. Mawakana stated that if companies are going to remove the driver from behind the wheel, they have a responsibility to be upfront about the performance of their systems.

Tesla's previous safety reports have been criticized for focusing on the less advanced Autopilot system rather than the more capable FSD software. The company now appears to be addressing this by providing a clearer picture of the safety of its more advanced technology.
