Does any car company give a detailed normalized report like you're asking for in 1?

edit: by which I mean, if tesla autopilot gets into more accidents than rich white yuppies but less than the national average, it's not entirely obvious to me is the conclusion is rich white yuppies shouldn't use autopilot or that autopilot isn't safe enough. It also suggests its very useful for poor minorities.

Location and local driving conditions are the only real differentiator where this might make a difference on decision making. Those are going to be correlated with the demographics of the person driving them, but are weak proxies at best.



Car company? Probably not, but they'd be the wrong organisations to ask.

Insurance companies certainly would know a lot more detail.


Do any other car companies run a comprehensive surveilance system on all of their vehicles?


I'm not a car expert, but I think yes, its pretty common in newer cars.


Yes. OnStar is the most well known, but most of the other major automakers have similar capabilities in at least part of their range.
