Unclear why snow would make Waymo’s less safe than human-drivers.
It can’t possibly be any worse than the way people drive in Milwaukee in winter.

Perhaps you should reconsider your position if you’re unable to offer anything more than weak insults to differing viewpoints.

It’s very useful for my job, makes my 401k go up, and AI data center construction is bringing tons of badly-needed investment into my community.
Net positive by a wide margin.

Dangerous? Waymo is exponentially safer than human-driven cars.

No, we should be replacing human-driven cars with Waymo’s.

Human-driven cars kill millions of cat every year. All this shows is Waymo is way safer even for felines.

I would much prefer for more cars on the road to be Waymo’s, they’re way safer for all involved parties.

Why would we need a remotely comparable number of them on the roads to compare their safety to human-driven cars? That’s ridiculous, safety can be measured in ways beyond a total count of crashes.

They are significantly safer than human-driven cars.

Sure it does. Cars are inherently dangerous. It is impossible to build a multiton metal box that can travel 100+ miles an hour down the road with zero risk of ever killing someone.
Fortunately, Waymos are far, far safer than human drivers.

Why should that matter more to me than the actual number of people killed in car crashes?

But we have actual evidence showing Waymos are better at dealing with human unpredictability than actual human drivers. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
Comparison of Waymo Rider-Only crash rates by crash type to human benchmarks at 56.7 million miles
SAE Level 4 Automated Driving Systems (ADSs) are deployed on public roads, including Waymo’s Rider-Only (RO) ride-hailing service (without a driver behind the steering wheel). The objective of this...

They are significantly safer than regular EV taxis right now in the status quo.

Human drivers kill over 5 million cats a year in the US and cars are very much still legal. Don’t hold your breath.

What is soulless about that? America already accepts 45,000 deaths a year caused by human drivers, and we know for a fact that Waymos are much safer.

Driverless cars are far, far safer to pedestrians, motorists, pets, and anyone else who uses public streets. Why on earth should we ban them?

Human drivers kill way more pets than Waymo. It isn’t even close.
