- The top five most dangerous cars are the Hyundai Venue, Chevrolet Corvette, Mitsubishi Mirage, Porsche 911, and Honda CR-V Hybrid, with fatal accident rates nearly five times higher than the average vehicle
- Two Teslas, the Model Y and Model S, make the most dangerous cars list despite Tesla’s advanced driver-assist technology
- Tesla also has the highest fatal accident rate by brand, followed by Kia, Buick, Dodge, and Hyundai
- Compact and subcompact cars have had the highest rate of fatal accidents by size, at 3.6 fatal accidents for every billion miles
- Full-size models have the lowest fatality rates by size, at 2.0 fatal accidents for every billion miles
This is all backwards. A car is not dangerous because its occupants die. It is dangerous because it kills the occupants of other vehicles.
