Tesla themselves released safety data quarterly for years. I don't know why it stopped, but internet guesses range from Tesla is a fraud to the NHTSA started to question its accuracy, and they pulled it for liability reason. Tesla actually updates miles driven on Twitter. And going on YouTube, you can find endless videos of user experiences. I said thousands of hours before, but it very well could be hundreds of thousands of hours.

Find anything on Waymo. The NHTSA released autopilot and AV vehicle crash data in raw number of crashes, and I wanted to normalize both Tesla and Waymo somehow, and I couldn't find anything from Waymo other than some repeated claim of "over 20 million miles" which dates back years. If it is only 20 million, then Waymo is insanely dangerous, and no one should be defending them, but I have a feeling they're into the hundreds of millions at this point. Also, look up similar YouTube experiences. Waymo has almost nothing--a few people following their vehicles

The reports they have released have been pretty rudimentary and therefore misleading. I'm glad they released the data when they did and they should keep doing it and expand it to FSD beta with disengagements: https://twitter.com/Tweetermeyer/status/1488673180403191808

I don't really give Tesla all that much credit for allowing their users to publish video of them using the software and hardware that they paid for, especially when they have asked users to consider Tesla's reputation when choosing what to publish. Further, while videos can reveal interesting qualitative information, they are a really bad substitute for the quantitative data that Tesla is already sitting on and choosing not to release.
