Tesla "autopilot" averages one airbag deployment every five million miles.

The average driver in the U.S. averages one every 600,000 miles.

Idk. Doesn't seem like it works perfectly, but it does seem to work pretty well.

The comparison is a little flat when you consider autopilot has minimum viable weather and road condition requirements to activate, no snow or hail, etc, while human drivers must endure and perform optimally in all road and weather conditions.
