There is a website that counts Tesla deaths. It reports that since 2013 there have been 674 total deaths including 54 related to Autopilot (which would include FSD). I found the I75 crash in that list but couldn't identify the "changed lanes" event.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration there were over 45,000 traffic deaths in 2022 alone.
Tesla seems to account for a very small percentage of traffic deaths.
Autopilot accounts for less than 10% of deaths involving a Tesla.
I don't know if there was any analysis to determine in how many of those Tesla Autopilot deaths the driver was NOT properly supervising the vehicle. Certainly, taking an exit at full speed and crashing into the back of a parked semi would make it seem like the driver wasn't paying attention.
