Wondering if those numbers contain a bit of an ambulance chaser skew in there?

  I doubt it. Among people I know, I've known 3 people injured as pedestrians, one person who was killed as a pedestrian, and a couple of months ago I was injured as a pedestrian. Cars are ridiculously dangerous. Something needs to be done about it. Good thing there's Waymo and other companies like them.

    Holy crap, where do you live, just outside Thunderdome?

      One injury & the friend who passed away were in Sydney. Another friend was injured crossing the road in Bangkok. I was hit by a taxi whilst crossing the road (legally, with a walk light) in Singapore. In my experience, humans on average are just quite bad at paying attention. The only reason autonomous vehicles didn't surpass our driving abilities years ago is because we tend to make our roads unpredictable (road work, human behaviours, etc.) and it turns out that humans are able to quickly comprehend those situations.

        So, oddly enough you do sort of live outside the Thunderdome presuming you're in Sydney.
