Last I checked Tesla Autopilot is 1.8 million miles per crash, average of all drivers 400,000 miles. Number differ depending on source, naturally.
What really grinds my gears about "autopilot" is people generally don't even know what it is in relation to aircraft. This is what is actually is:

An autopilot is a system used to control the trajectory of an aircraft, marine craft or spacecraft without requiring constant manual control by a human operator. Autopilot does not replace human operators. Instead, autopilot assists the operator's control of the vehicle, allowing the operator to focus on broader aspects of operations (for example, monitoring the trajectory, weather and on-board systems)

Apply that to an automobile. It does NOT REPLACE THE HUMAN DRIVER and they must PAY ATTENTION. Just like in an aircraft.
