Distribution
This dataset is typically provided in CSV format. The primary file is named
Tesla Deaths - Deaths (3).csv and has a size of 54.76 kB. It contains 21 columns and a total of 254 records for most key fields. The 'Case #' column ranges from 1 to 254. Data for the 'Year' column spans from 2013 to 2022, with 'Date' entries from 2nd April 2013 to 16th August 2022. While most columns have complete data, some, such as 'State' and 'Note', have missing values for a portion of the records.Usage
This dataset can be used for a variety of analytical purposes:
- Analyse the frequency and locations of fatal Tesla accidents.
- Gain valuable insights into potential safety risks associated with driving or operating Tesla vehicles.
- Review incidents based on geographic location or model type to identify areas or models that may require further safety investigation and testing.
- Employ descriptive analytics, such as means and medians, to determine if certain Tesla models are more prone to accidents.
- Explore any correlation between Autopilot feature usage and fatality rates.
- Estimate the safety risk of Autopilot feature usage across different countries and states.
- Examine the relationship between driver/occupant fatalities and Tesla vehicle models over time, helping engineers identify vulnerabilities or features needing improvement.
- Develop predictive models to assess crash probability based on uncontrollable factors like road environment or traffic conditions.
- Increase awareness about potential safety-related issues concerning Tesla vehicles.
