“This is the first known fatality in just over 130 million miles
(209 million kilometers)
where Autopilot was activated,” the company said.

“Among all vehicles in the US, there is a fatality every 94
million miles.
Worldwide, there is a fatality approximately every 60 million
miles,” it said.

Nice slippery wording there. It _almost _sounds as though Autopilot is
already safer than human drivers in equivalent conditions. Until you
read what it says.

Well played, soulless damage-control PR flack!
