Tesla has updated its Full Self-Driving (FSD) safety data, and the latest numbers show another improvement in how far vehicles can travel between collisions while using the system.
According to Tesla’s updated safety report, vehicles operating with FSD (Supervised) engaged now travel an average of 6,006,200 miles (9.67 million km) before being involved in a major collision.
That’s up from approximately 5.3 million miles in Tesla’s previous safety report released in February 2026.
The difference becomes even more apparent when comparing FSD to vehicles driven manually.
Tesla’s data shows drivers using FSD travel about nine times farther between major collisions than the estimated U.S. average of 660,164 miles (1.06 million km).
Even compared to Teslas being driven manually with active safety features enabled, which average 2,031,221 miles (3.27 million km) between major collisions, FSD performs nearly three times better.
The improvements aren’t limited to major accidents either.
For minor collisions, Tesla reports an average of 1,760,823 miles between incidents with FSD engaged. That compares to 685,390 miles for Teslas driven manually with active safety features, and just 225,322 miles for the estimated U.S. average.
Tesla also says FSD is involved in six times fewer off-highway collisions compared to the estimated U.S. average.
These figures are based on driving data collected across North America over a rolling 12-month period, with Tesla updating the numbers every quarter.
There are some important details behind the numbers. Tesla counts all qualifying collisions, regardless of who was responsible, and separates major accidents involving airbag deployment from minor incidents where airbags don’t deploy.
The U.S. average is also an estimate based on federal crash and mileage data, rather than a direct comparison of vehicles operating under identical conditions.
Tesla’s methodology also counts a collision as an FSD incident if the system was active at any point within five seconds before impact.
