      Depends on the Autopilot feature.

      I was test driving model 3 and summon almost ran over a little kid in the parking lot until my wife ran in front of the car.

      At least when my car’s collision sensors misread something, my eyeballs are there for redundancy.

      I know it’s not the answer you’re looking for but, what is safer for pedestrians, cyclists and other drivers, is to have less cars on the roads. Buses can move dozens of people with a single trained professional driver. Trains can move hundreds. It’s illogical to try to push for autonomous cars for individuals when we already have “self driving” technologies that are much much safer and much more efficient.
