My understanding is that Tesla's safety issues will continually return to their insistence on not using radar, because of price. If they continue to use only Cameras to control their vehicles, regardless of the quality of technology they will continue to have accidents with optical illusions, lens flares, dirt/debris....
Good safety systems will have redundancies, Radar, and Lidar, and Cameras that will slow / shut the system down when there is conflicting information.
For what it's worth on my newer Hyundai I drive a lot with my hands off the wheel for 20-30 minutes at a time on the highway, and the car seems fine with it, but when it sees a sharp turn or something other than a vehicle driving straight in front of me, it asked me to touch the wheel. For the Lane Change, it will do it itself, but I have to have my hand on the wheel the whole time, so I don't really see the point. The Road safety features all feel pretty good, and pretty safe, but still often demand driver interaction. And the system does not navigate, which in itself would put it behind Tesla in the self driving level of advancement.
