I don't know that taxi or uber drivers are particularly safer. I mean drunk and joyriders sure - but that must be a tiny fraction of drivers. As opposed to the ultra-common "scared" and "distracted". The last shared drivers (including taxis) I have used did not seem particularly expert. They certainly did not seem hyper-alert (which would make sense if driving all day) or experienced (in the case of uber drivers).
But there seems to be some stats. https://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/28/nyregion/that-wild-taxi-ride-is-safer-than-you-think-a-study-says.html https://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/28/nyregion/that-wild-taxi-r... got "crash rates one-third lower". Still great result from Waymo.
