How safe is Tesla's Autopilot?

QUESTION
Hi John,
What you fail realise and convey to your viewers is that people who use Autopilot or Full Self-Driving Beta responsibly are safer than people driving themselves.
This improved safety of course translates to making others around the car safer as well. The data is showing this.
Your advice at the end warning drivers to pay attention is good, so I'll give you that, but you really do people a disservice when you make it sound like Tesla's driver assist system is dangerous to use. It is the exact opposite that is true.
Regards,
