    Good. I’m sick of the fearmonger. “OH NO, THIS ONE CAR GOT IN A CRASH!!!”

    Yeah, but humans crash too?

      When I worked on Google’s Waymo project, we only had a small handful of our cars involved in any collision on public roads. And every single one of them was from a human driver running into the SDC. I dunno if that’s changed since I left, but even in the early stages, SDCs are remarkably safe compared to human drivers.

        Yea, me too. I’m such a good driver, others are crashing into me every day…
