I'm really curious where you live or work such that your self-driving cars are better than your Uber/Lyft rides and you're observing all these near misses where a real human would have definitely had an accident?
Also, I assume you are also considering all the times that humans entirely avoided dangerous situations that self-driving car wouldn't because they were able to anticipate the actions/movements of (possibly several) other actors/objects and even communicate with these other actors to negotiate intersections?
Do you have a source for the data that says self-driving cars have fewer accidents per mile? Does that include miles driven on closed tracks or is it just orders of magnitude lower than the miles driven by humans and less statistically significant?
- jedberg 7y agoI live in Cupertino near Mt. View. I see Waymo and Apple self drivers daily as both a driver and pedestrian. And I see the Cruise and Zoox cars every time I go to SF. I'm interested in the space so I observe how they act.
- MegaButts 7y agoI see those cars get stuck at intersections with cars honking at them all the time (it feels like a daily occurrence, but that's probably my memory exaggerating the issue). The problem with anecdotal evidence is we don't have the data on how good/bad it really is. I can say as an SF resident that I hate those cars and driving around them is obnoxious because they brake check randomly and are unpredictable.
