I know these kinds of situations are frightening, but as long as AutoPilot is significantly safer, statistics-wise, over similar driving, it's hard to argue otherwise.

The AutoPilot simply cannot be significantly safer. If it was on all cars with autopilot enabled and it was on the whole time it could have saved a few lives. Not enough to be statistically significantly safer even if it dropped it to zero.

Does Tesla have data showing how much better or worse AutoPilot is at driving vs a human driver?

Of course take it with a grain of salt since this is Tesla as the source, but they show significantly less accidents when using AutoPilot. Of course, this is missing controls on the data, so I don't expect it to be as good as they state.
