Looking for the original source. This isn't really a controversial claim. Waymo has thousands of times more miles per disengagement than Tesla. The most recent numbers I remember had Tesla at like single digits of miles per disengagement, and Waymo had literal thousands or tens of thousands of miles. Tesla hasn't really made progress on their autonomous driving in over 5 years whereas other major players are actually making big leaps.
If I can't find it tonight before I have to do something I'll look tomorrow after work.

wat...
Tesla the only leader in non-mapped autonomous driving. Tesla is actually producing a mass commercial product; Waymo is not. Are you really impressed with what Waymo has been doing and has accomplished in 13 years; 7 years of that backed by a Trillion dollar company?
Either way "The NHTSA report also shows that "in the majority of incidents" among those 16 under close investigation, the Teslas activated their forward collision warnings and automated emergency braking systems, so it wasn't as though the drivers were given zero time to react, though it isn't mentioned how far in advance of impact those kicked on. In 11 of the crashes,
none of the drivers took any action between two and five seconds before impact, indicating they, like Autopilot, didn't detect the impending collisions, either."
