It's understandable he lost you there, but the very next sentence does say this:

    Again, let's not lie with statistics. The conditions under which Autopilot, Tesla's semiautonomous driving feature, will operate are, by definition, some of the safest and most predictable situations possible. [...] Implying that Tesla Autopilot is safer than the average driver is probably like suggesting that most convicted felons are Democrats; the raw data might support the assertion, but there are other, more complex factors in play.

He is undermining his first few paragraphs there, but at least he isn't a complete idiot.
