Current Status

目前状态

While autonomous vehicle technology is still in development, Tesla has made significant progress. According to Craft Law Firm, there have been nearly 4,000 incidents involving autonomous vehicles in the US since 2019, with Tesla accounting for 53.9% of them. However, the total number of accidents involving self-driving cars remains significantly lower than the overall number of car accidents.
