Version explorer

Pick a metric. Filmed drives only — miles from drive logs, narrated totals, and reviewed TezLab matches; events are what happened on camera.

Takeovers per filmed video

All on-camera takeovers (disengagements + interventions) divided by videos in each era. Deliberate stress tests and demos excluded.

Method: everything here comes from drives filmed and posted on the channel — event details machine-extracted from the videos, mileage from Chris's logs, narrated totals, and human-reviewed TezLab drive matching. Read the full methodology, limitations, privacy, and commercial policy.
