This number by itself is absolutely meaningless without more context.
In 2017, 37,133 people in the United States died in an automotive crash. It is expected that some number of Tesla owners will die in a crash, regardless of currently engaged safety features.
Tesla has produced around 600,000 vehicles in total, including over 100,000 Model 3 vehicles.
I'm not making any claim or dispute regarding the effectiveness of Autopilot, whether or not it's improving. I'm just saying, making that statement you made is meaningless at least and misleading at most.
