Take a look at this. A Tesla Robotaxi in Austin pauses, seems to reconsider a right-hand turn through some bollards, and then decides: "I’m just gonna send it."

Robotaxis have three times the accident rate of human drivers.

    That's just Tesla, and that's because musk is a moron and forced them to go optical sensors only.

    Waymo, on the other hand, is significantly safer than humans. Although that is a pretty low bar to clear since humans are awful at driving.

    For comparison, human drivers in the United States average approximately one police-reported crash every 500,000 miles, according to NHTSA data.

    Police reported

    In training data, way higher. Also, notice I said they kill fewer people. So far that's true
