The biggest correlation will be to use case. These figures are normalized to billion miles driven. That means that any models that are commonly used for long relatively safe road trips on the highway are going to have lower numbers. So any vehicle that is largely selected to being a commuter car in heavy city traffic is going to have a higher fatality number than models that are used more generally.

Tesla does seem to have higher fatality rates than other bev’s in general. So I do think there’s still something to be said about if their “full self driving” leads to overconfidence or if their acceleration is too agressive for the commutes they frequent. This study won’t elucidate causes though and anyone stating a cause is speculating.
