I see some publications today trying to clickbait people into thinking @Tesla’s 5 reported Robotaxi incidents in Dec–Jan were all serious “crashes.” I checked the NHTSA report, here’s what actually happened: Incident #1: • Location: Street • Speed: 0 mph • What happened: Stopped Tesla Robotaxi hit by a bus • Damage: Very minor rear/side hit Incident #2: • Location: Parking lot • Speed: 1 mph • What happened: Backed into a fixed object • Damage: Extremely minor Incident #3: • Location: Parking lot • Speed: 2 mph • What happened: Backed into a pole/tree • Damage: Extremely minor Incident #4: • Location: Street • Speed: 17 mph • What happened: Straight into a fixed object • Damage: Minor Incident #5: • Location: Street • Speed: 4 mph • What happened: Low speed contact with heavy truck • Damage: Very minor No hospitalizations, no airbags deployed, no towing required. One incident wasn’t even the fault of Tesla, and the two parking-lot incidents are the kind of minor events a lot of drivers would likely brush off. Obviously, we'd like to see zero incidents, but this "march of 9s" is a process, and the data clearly shows miles between incidents is increasing. Tesla's Robotaxi fleet cumulatively drove 225,000 miles in the final two months of 2025. The fleet has more than doubled in size since the start of 2026. Humans are not good drivers. An average of 110 people die every day in vehicle related accidents in the U.S. Self-driving vehicles will save a lot of lives, and that should be the main point of focus.
