Or Google and GM have the data, but aren't sharing it because people will overreact because despite it being an order of magnitude safer than human drivers, it still has some incidents that people will focus in on.
- bhelkey 3y agoCalifornia law requires all accidents of autonomous cars resulting in "property damage, bodily injury, or death" be reported within ten days. All of this accident data is publicly available with details about every accident. For example, Waymo had four accidents in May and four accidents in June.

- pms 3y agoSounds like an extremely arrogant and biased comment showing the blind righteousness of tech and its followers. How else can tech build trust with the public than via transparency? Think about this for a moment.
- cowpig 3y agoThat doesn't sound plausible to me. If it were demonstrably safer they would surely be transparent about that
- ramraj07 3y agoSounds like apologia to me. Share the data and stop telling us how to feel about it.
- dontreact 3y agoHumans cause fatalities 1 per 100 million miles. There is no way to truly evaluate safety being an order of magnitude better until we have 1 billion miles driven. You can crash less often (reduce fender benders) but kill more people (have rare but egregious errors) so I am not interested in seeing statistics about incidents or collisions.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoIt is actually at 1.5 per 100m miles now. In some countries, like China, it is much worse (63k a year!).
