    Yes, thank you for quoting exactly what I said??

    You are quoting the serious or fatal injury stats. The overall injury accident rate, though, as quoted from the article: “When all injury-causing crashes were considered, Waymo performed better. Its robotaxis were involved in 67% fewer injury crashes per million miles than New York City’s for-hire vehicles.”

      Wow you’re trying really hard to shill for these AI cars. Imagine downplaying a 50% increase in death rate

      Funny how you ignored this part too:

      the analysis excluded minor incidents involving Waymos that would likely not have been reported to the police had a human been driving,”

      Fatalities and serious injuries sound like a far more important statistic to optimize for in terms of public safety.

        They would need to have more of them first for the data to actually be accurate at all. From what I could find, there have been no Waymo caused fatalities - two deaths caused by other drivers though - and four serious injuries, for roughly 220 million miles driven.

        While you can then state that the rate of fatalities is 1 per 110 million miles, it’s not really useful in any way.
