they still have to report it.
readily located a variety of news outlets investigating the same question and summarizing that in waymos case human drivers were mostly at fault… even if you ignore stuff that smacks of PR/industry or from waymo itself…
piling on to the flaws in comparing these: waymos operate in major metros that just have higher crashes and claims to begin with. im spitballing with nationwide averages but i think a serious inquiry/research would have to drill into the crash rates for the cities theyre operating in and where each incident occurred.
eg, i live in los angeles and have over 2,000,000 incident free miles out here but ive been hit no less than four times in austin TX and doubt i even cracked 20,000mi there.
I’d be interested in how waymo compares against LA drivers operating in LA…… against Austin drivers operating in Austin. More so than how they compare to all drivers on average nationwide. Without assessing that… say if waymo has a comparable incident rate as Tesla in Austin, youd be overlooking that by comparing a company operating in multiple markets- to one thats only in Austin.
