Elon Musk's Tesla FSD Claim: An Accident Waiting to Happen?

Elon Musk boasts that Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) can go 10,000 miles without intervention, roughly once a year. However, this isn't positive; it suggests his robotaxis are unsafe. Average Tesla owners report needing intervention every 500 miles, far less than Musk's claim. Even accepting Musk's figures, his robotaxis would still have at least one accident annually! Human drivers average an accident every 100,000 miles, while Waymo boasts a rate of one accident per 2.3 MILLION miles. Furthermore, how is a passenger supposed to prevent a crash in a robotaxi?
