This is the article that comes up if you search that title. I had previously seen it. It specifically calls out dodge rams as having the worst drivers and still is just a summary of the data, not the actual study. Tesla is shown as number 2, but again, the details of the data are not in the text. Why are speeding and citations separate categories and how was the data collected?

Tesla definitely has a problem with bad drivers not adhering to their warnings and recommendations on using autopilot and fsd beta, and Tesla can do more to limit speed while in use, but the framing of this and the “source” article are being promoted in a way that doesn’t lend to credibility.
