Do you have a source for remote operators intervening all the time? The 17k miles number is also for their testing with a safety driver, which means it's inherently tougher than the environments they operate without a driver.
If you're including disengagements in the 1300 "incidents", then it's highly misleading. As you said, it's only 47 collisions over millions of miles that also includes collisions in manual mode during testing. If you look at the collision reports [1], most of them are Waymos getting rear ended while being stationary. Remember, they have to report every contact event, including minor contacts like debris hitting their cars [2].
Tesla likely has orders of magnitude more incidents. The thing with them is that they don't report any of these numbers. Tesla doesn't even count crashes in their (highly misleading) safety report that don't deploy airbags.
