According to Elon Musk, Tesla's autopilot software needs at least 1 billion logged miles of real world driving before it can be considered a decidedly non-beta piece of data. Tesla's vehicles equipped with autopilot has already logged 130 million miles in less than 12 months.

The All Electric Tesla Autopilot is just like Cruise control with a little more precision, a far cry from a self-driving car. Several crashes happened with people on Autopilot due to their ignoring what Tesla said: you have to be fully awake and look on the road, the autopilot is not even connected to the GPS therefore it cannot follow routes. We are probably at least two years from a self driving car that doesn't crash.
