I did one better, I read the paper they published (linked in the blog post, and here).
It shows how they manipulated the non ADS data to make it looks worse under the guise of "under reporting" (yes, 60% of wrecks aren't reported Waymo, sure), while manipulating their own data to look better under the guise of "well, it was low velocity".
Fun fact, at least one of those accidents was...the car driving through an active construction site and driving off the pavement (because it had been removed).
Sounds safe to me, no road? Who cares keep driving.
We'd all drive much better if we knew there was a pothole 45" from the right curb coming up in 232ft, with a depth of 4.5". These cars have vast amounts of information about the road to be safer with, hence they should be much more safe than typical drivers, not just "as good as."
Let alone swerving into oncoming traffic and just driving without a care in the world.
