Excerpt:

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released new crash statistics on self-driving cars this week. According to the data, Elon Musk’s Teslas were involved in at least ten deadly accidents between mid-May and mid-September.

The fatalities included four crashes involving Teslas and motorcycles. The datasheet, however, does not indicate whether the driver-assist systems of the Teslas were on during the accidents or if the vehicles were piloted by their human drivers.

The database also listed an 11th death, said to involve a Ford pickup truck fitted with a driver-assist system. The carmaker, however, told local media that the accident was reported erroneously, and it was later determined that the pickup was not equipped with a driver-assist mechanism.
