Tesla's Safety Report Cannot Explain Individual Crashes

A Tesla crash into a residential pool on June 22 has renewed debate over what data regulators can access. Tesla publishes fleet-wide safety statistics for Full Self-Driving, but aggregate metrics cannot reveal whether the system was active in any particular incident. Event Data Recorders capture that granular data, but regulators and investigators access them only through owner consent or court order. The gap between public aggregate reporting and proprietary forensic data complicates crash investigations.
