The problem will all of these stats (although some like Waymo are better than others like Tesla), is that the bare number is quite misleading because they compare apples to oranges. Firstly Waymo (and others don't often don't operate in places that they have excluded or they don't know. Humans drive in unfamiliar places (which I'd bet changes the chances of accidents). Moreover, waymo might decide to not operate in some places at all because they deem the traffic/road conditions to dangerous (and I think that's a good thing), however human accidents in those areas (which are by the condition are more accident prone) still go into those statistics. It's similar for weather, self driving cars might refuse to operate in some weather conditions (I don't think it's by accident that most companies mainly operate in the relatively warm and sunny places of the US), human accidents under bad conditions are still part of the statistics. And again drunk/impaired drivers also go into the statistics, if we disregard them and humans become safer, than this is not an argument that self driving is safer than humans, but an argument that there isn't enough enforcement around riving impaired.
