not hard to believe at all
waymos do silly things, but people do dangerous things more often like using their phones, get distracted, driving angry/tired, road rages at rush hour, speeding, etc
Contradicts the previous articles stating the opposite. (Easy to find, I don’t provide search services. )

if waymos were as bad as the average human driver they’d already be out of business
Would they? lol. I’m not sure that’s how 2026 works.

fair, they’d have pivoted to data centers or something

Lmao the article literally admits the data is cherry picked and only applied on “a limited scale”
Replying to @dreamkeeper@literature.cafe
It’s a limited scale because waymo only operates in bounded areas, not because they cherry picked the data
