I wonder if it's because of the weight. Teslas are much heavier than similar sized cars. So if you impact another non-Tesla vehicle, the Tesla driver is more likely to survive and the non-Tesla driver is more likely to be seriously injured.

Not surprising; "Tesla driver" is the new "Prius driver."

Could it be that the Tesla is not only heavy, but people trust them to drive themselves.
I really have trouble with that concept. Self-driving cars are machines and machines sometimes make mistakes. I just would not like to be called “a machine’s fatal mistake”!
On top of that, my favorite car has a 5-speed manual drive, is light, low to the ground with a really adequate engine. In other words, it is fun to drive.

Is it? Lars talks about crash test data. This measures damage to the driver/passengers. The study talks about being involved in car crashes. Not the same thing.
Also, from your thread:

I would never trust a Tesla to drive me around.
