  That death is of course tragic, but it's important to put it in context. That's the only death of a self-driving car. That's the only one. There was a safety driver with their hands on the wheel, and they didn't see the pedestrian either. And that was an Uber self-driving car, and they've since canceled that project. While incredibly tragic, it's not at all fair to say that self-driving cars are constantly plowing into people. Waymo has driven more than 1 million miles with no human injuries. That's dramatically better than any human driver. Cruise is a close second in number of miles, also with no human injuries.
