Records of Tesla accidents that resulted in the death of a driver, occupant, cyclist, motorcyclist, or pedestrian, irrespective of whether the Tesla or its driver were deemed responsible. The data focuses specifically on incidents occurring in 2020, tracking crucial details such as the location of the crash, the number of fatalities, and any claims regarding the use of the Autopilot system.

year: The year the incident occurred (exclusively 2020).date: The specific calendar date of the fatal incident.country: The nation where the crash took place, such as the USA, Germany, or China.state: The specific state or region within the country (most prevalent for USA incidents).description: A brief narrative explaining the circumstances of the crash event.deaths: The total count of fatalities resulting from the incident.tesla_driver: The number of deceased Tesla drivers.tesla_occupant: The number of deceased Tesla passengers.other_vehicle: The number of deceased occupants of other vehicles involved in the collision.cyclists_peds: The number of deceased cyclists or pedestrians.tsla_cycl_peds: A related count of Tesla-associated, cyclist, and pedestrian fatalities.model: The specific Tesla model involved in the crash (if known).autopilot_claimed: Indicates whether the Autopilot system was claimed to be active during the crash.verified_tesla_autopilot_death: Indicates whether the death was officially confirmed to involve the Tesla Autopilot system.source: A URL link to the original news article or source report detailing the incident.fars_nhtsa_case_filing: References for FARS or NHTSA case filings, when available.note: Additional editorial notes regarding the incident or the deceased.deceased_1throughdeceased_4: Names or identifiers of individuals who were killed.
Distribution
The data is typically provided in a standard tabular format, usually CSV, designed for easy relational analysis. While the exact record count is not specified, the structure supports detailed analysis of each individual fatality incident. It includes supporting metadata detailing contributors and update frequency, which is expected to be quarterly.
Usage
This dataset is ideal for researchers and safety analysts studying autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle incidents. It can be utilised for risk assessment modelling, tracking trends in fatal crashes involving specific vehicle manufacturers, and conducting geopolitical analysis on vehicle safety regulations across different countries. It also supports journalistic inquiries into claims surrounding Autopilot system usage in fatal accidents.
Coverage
The time range for this data is strictly limited to the calendar year 2020. Geographically, it covers incidents across multiple nations including the USA (various states), Canada, and several European countries such as Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Norway, as well as China. The scope covers various victims, including drivers, passengers, and external parties like pedestrians. It is important to note that, as the information is largely crowd-sourced from English-language articles, it may not represent the total number of global incidents.
