Tesla redacts the narrative (final column) which describes the situation and context, unlike every serious ADS manufacturer.
In addition, Ashok Elluswamy, head of Autopilot and Vice President of Vehicle Software directly and intentionally lied about the number of incidents in the Q2 2025 earnings call: “We have more than seven thousand miles operating in the Austin area. Just because the service is new, we have a handful of vehicles right now, but we are trying to expand the service in terms of the area and also the number of vehicles both in Austin and other locations. So far, there are no notable safety-critical interventions.”
That is a direct lie to investors in official communication.
The redaction tells you everything, especially in the context of Tesla's prior and ongoing behavior.

Particularly when considering that each of their cars does have a human backup driver who should be taking over to avoid crashes. How much worse would the cars be unsupervised?
1 was it being rear-ended while stopped. The other 2 were low speed, probably parking lot events.
Shouldn’t be happening, but this is a very misleading headline and undermines the anti-Tesla case.
