you are arguing a fake hypothetical. Tesla accident data shows that their autopilot feature reduces accidents.

fortunately our regulators don't take a one size fits all approach for how new technologies can be developed

It doesn't, as it compare general rates with self selected "good driving conditions" as defined by the software - only highways, only good enough weather, only good enough maintenance state of the car.

Your notion is that everything is fine because according to Tesla, a company with a leader known for telling whoppers, they are killing less people on net?

Even if we trust them on that stat, which I certainly don't, that still doesn't mean they aren't killing people unnecessarily.
