I still think these full auto systems have a really long way to go before they are useful in winter.

I also think those Tesla numbers need to be taken in context. Autopilot is going to be used more on long drives where the chance of a collision is much lower(though higher consequences) so it would makes sense for the miles driven to be large number. Humans would be in control for the more complicated driving, where there is a higher likelihood of collision. So autopilot takes the easy miles, while humans take the tricky ones.

I'm not sure you can just look at those numbers and say autopilot is safer, though Tesla would like you to interpret it that way.
