The one that hit a tractor trailer was years ago. They are far better now, specifically they see low contrast stuff now and that's on autopilot. The biggest difference to the user will be the ability to have hands off the controls.

It isn't the same though. FSD is written completely differently to autopilot. It's a different program.

Other accidents it won't have on those roads include falling asleep and running off the road, or being surprised by someone braking ahead and running into them

I'm sure it will be worse than humans around animals on the road. I wonder if it will see a wombat before it hits it.
