Maybe a stupid question, I don't know your exact calculations, but wouldn't you be half-counting the number of collisions, since a collision is almost always between two cars, so you're counting the miles driven by both cars, but only counting the collision between them as 1. So you'd be off by a factor of 2 if you compare that to a distance driver by a single car divided by its collisions.
- maliker 6y agoYes, thank you, definitely correct. So it's more like 4 accident/million miles from this dataset, although another poster made a good case that Waymo's data includes minor accidents that aren't in the data I looked at, which would make 12 accidents/million miles a better benchmark.
