This is all miles traveled, but clever data analysis uses aggregate data as they've done here. It's not "lying" in that the vast majority of miles are traveled on the highway instead of on city streets or even suburban access roads.

Also note:

> To ensure our statistics are conservative, we count any crash in which Autopilot was deactivated within 5 seconds before impact, and we count all crashes in which the incident alert indicated an airbag or other active restraint deployed. (Our crash statistics are not based on sample data sets or estimates.)

Of course, Tesla's official guidance in-car via warning messages is that Autopilot is not safe for city streets, only highways, so technically it shouldn't be used on pedestrian-adorned streets anyways.

This also doesn't take into account FSD Beta.
