More info on Waymo crash statistics: arstechnica.com/cars/2025/03...
After 50 million miles, Waymos crash a lot less than human drivers
Waymo has been in dozens of crashes. Most were not Waymo’s fault.

The statistics that Waymo has gathered (a lot!) show that autonomous vehicles are far safer than human drivers.
And the mostly-minor accidents they do get it into are most often caused by human drivers.

OK. Don't game here, don't use Nvidia graphics hardware, don't use full disk encryption. So pretty vanilla and boring here.
