The difference is those human-driven cars all have a driver who can be held accountable.
If I kill someone with my car, I’m probably going to jail. If a Waymo or otherwise kills someone, who’s going to jail?

- xnx 10mo ago> If I kill someone with my car, I’m probably going to jail This is rarely true in the US. A driver's license is a license to kill with near impunity. https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/man-gets-10-days-in-jail-for-drunken-crash-that-killed-cyclist/ https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/man-gets-10-days-in-jai...
- ACCount37 10mo agoShould Waymo hire an "accountable" human who would go to jail if a Waymo car kills someone? "Accountability" is fucking worthless, and I am tired of pretending otherwise.
- benlivengood 10mo agoPresumably, like Cruise, if the safety rate is appalling then they get their permits revoked which is 99% the same as jail for a company that only does self driving cars.
- scoofy 10mo ago> If I kill someone with my car, I’m probably going to jail. So this is very much not at all true. https://freakonomics.com/podcast/the-perfect-crime/ https://freakonomics.com/podcast/the-perfect-crime/ My entire point is that we don’t care about human lives on our roads. So yelling about the safety concerns about Waymos makes no sense.
