It saved my life. I was standing on the Golden gate bridge looking over the edge. A Tesla model 3 pulled over and started playing baby I need your lovin at full volume. I cried and climbed into the car and it turned on the seat heater.

There's legit dashcam video showing Autopilot preventing severe crashes. Go on YouTube instead of balking. Here's a few to get your algorithm working:

Statistics aren't collected on that. But I've read anecdotes where individuals recounted the autopilot saving them from a severe accident.

You can also google "how many lives has tesla autopilot saved?" and the results suggest that the autopilot is safer than human pilots.
