Numerous studies have indicated that this globally renowned automaker is involved in the highest number of road accidents.
Purchasing a luxury vehicle is a dream for many drivers. The aesthetics, design, and comfort, along with the cutting-edge features offered, are significant attractions for these exceptional models. It’s noteworthy that some car manufacturers are focusing on more eco-friendly electric models and driving assistance technologies that appeal to many: speed regulation, simplified maneuvers, etc. However, these advancements actually conceal significant risks, according to various studies.
By 2024, the car resale website iSeeCars had compiled a list of the most dangerous cars on the road. A model featuring advanced technology recorded “the highest fatal accident rate among all car brands.” Tesla vehicles, particularly for their autonomous driving system, were specifically highlighted. “These safety features are compromised by driver distraction and high speeds, leading to increased accident and fatality rates in recent years,” explained Karl Brauer, an analyst at iSeeCars. According to this study, Tesla had a “mortality rate” of 5.6 fatal accidents per billion miles (1,609 km) traveled, which is double the average in the United States. Other dangerous models include brands like Kia, Buick, Dodge, and Hyundai.
A more recent study conducted by the insurer LendingTree and published in February 2025 reaffirms this poor ranking. The survey relied on insurance claims filed during the year 2024, thereby highlighting the 30 brands that generated the most claims. In this case, it is the drivers (and not the brand itself) who are at fault in these accidents. Factors may include alcohol consumption, speeding, but also the performance of the vehicles. Indeed, U.S. government agencies have concluded that “the mortality rate associated with Tesla’s autopilot is higher than estimates,” reported Forbes magazine.
By the end of 2023, Tesla cars equipped with an autopilot had been recalled en masse, but the company claims to have resolved the issue. However, numerous cases of non-fatal accidents have been recorded since then. The car would accelerate on its own, and the driver would not be able to brake.
