Tesla has published its Q2 2025 Vehicle Safety Report, showcasing the impressive safety performance of its Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised systems.
According to the report, Tesla recorded one accident for every 6.69 million miles (10.77 million km) driven with Autopilot or FSD engaged during Q2 2025. This figure is nearly 10 times safer than the U.S. average, where one accident occurs approximately every 702,000 miles (1.13 million km), based on the latest data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) from 2023.
However, the added safety comes not just from Autopilot and FSD, but also from Tesla’s other passive and active safety systems, which come standard on all vehicles. For Tesla drivers not using Autopilot, the company reported one accident for every 1.34 million miles (2.16 million km) driven, still almost double the national average.
These results highlight how Tesla’s built-in active safety features—such as emergency braking, lane departure warning, and forward collision avoidance—play a significant role in reducing accidents.
Tesla’s quarterly safety reports, which began in 2018, provide a transparent look at how the company’s driver assistance systems evolve over time. While numbers fluctuate between quarters, primarily based on seasonal changes that effect on-road safety, the long-term trend shows Autopilot and FSD technology improving year over year as Tesla refines its software and expands its fleet-wide data collection.
Tesla’s approach to vehicle safety combines hardware and software advancements to prevent accidents before they happen. Autopilot and FSD Supervised utilize cameras, radar, and neural networks to handle tasks such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping, and obstacle detection with greater precision than human reaction times allow.
