Tesla FSD Supervised Miles & Adoption
FSD = Tesla's "Full Self-Driving", currently a Level 2 hands-off driver-assist feature (the human must still supervise, despite the name). Tracks total miles driven by customers with FSD active, plus how many people are using it.
FSD Safety: Miles Driven Before a Collision
Average miles driven between crashes (higher is safer). Compares Tesla's FSD (Full Self-Driving, the driver-assist feature) against humans driving the same Teslas manually, against the U.S. national average. Numbers are self-reported by Tesla.

ADAS Vehicle Lineup by Company
Every production car you can buy today that includes hands-off-the-wheel driver assistance (L2+ means it can steer + accelerate on its own but a human must watch the road), grouped by automaker and which ADAS platform they use.

Hands-free driving systems, by carmaker
Latest disclosed installed or active base. Tesla is active FSD (Supervised) subscriptions (Tesla Q4 2025). Ford is BlueCruise-equipped vehicles. GM is Super Cruise-enabled vehicles. SuperVision is Mobileye systems shipped to automakers, not a retail attach rate.
Hands-free highway miles, as carmakers disclose them
GM Super Cruise is 1 billion cumulative hands-free miles as of April 2026. Ford BlueCruise is 840 million as of the July 2026 earnings call. SAE Level 2 highway usage, not an attach rate and not Tesla FSD claimed miles.
ADAS Feature Matrix
Advertised highway and city assist features by system. Hands-free is SAE Level 2 with driver monitoring. Eyes-free is true Level 3, which almost none of these consumer stacks are certified as in the U.S.
