While I appreciate the link, it doesn't contain numbers of the sort needed. In particular this is just deaths involving teslas with autopilot enabled, not autopilot caused deaths (particularly ones caused by misunderstanding due to marketing material).

For example, entry #259 involves a motorbike being hit by a truck and thrown at an autopiloted Tesla that was stopped in traffic. Was there a death? Yes. Was there a Tesla? Yes. Was autopilot enabled? Sure, lets say it was. Did it have anything to do with the accident? No. Was marketing material to blame? No.

This kind of shoddy, imprecise thinking is everywhere in discourse and its honestly quite worrying...
