By that comparison, Tesla’s robotaxi fleet appears to be crashing at a rate roughly four times higher than the average driver. Tesla also appears less transparent than its competitors when it comes to crash reporting. Unlike Waymo and Zoox, Tesla has redacted the incident narratives for each crash in the NHTSA database, citing 'confidential business information'" (Gil, B., 2026). Bibliography: Tangermann, V.
