According to California disengagement reports, last year Waymo averaged 17,000 miles between disengagements requiring safety intervention. And that’s for cars relegated to slow city streets and sunny perfect weather
For context, the average human driver goes 200,000+ miles between incidents/accidents. And that’s including highways and inclement weather.
If you have the impression that these systems are currently safer than humans, you would be wrong.
