LendingTree Analysis Reveals Tesla Drivers as Most Accident-Prone Among 30 Car Brands

A recent analysis by LendingTree has shed light on the accident rates among different car brands, with Tesla emerging as the most accident-prone. According to the study, Tesla drivers are involved in more accidents compared to drivers of any other brand, with a reported 23.54 accidents per 1,000 drivers.

While the study doesn't provide causal insights into the accidents, it coincides with Tesla's recall of over 2 million vehicles due to safety concerns related to its Autopilot software. The recall specifically addresses issues with the Autosteer feature, a component of Tesla's driver-assistance system, impacting a substantial portion of Tesla vehicles in the United States.

This analysis raises questions about the correlation between Tesla's Autopilot technology and accident rates, prompting a closer examination of the safety features in autonomous driving systems.
