Take a look at this. A Tesla Robotaxi in Austin pauses, seems to reconsider a right-hand turn through some bollards, and then decides: “I’m just gonna send it.”

Regular taxis kill a lot more people
Robotaxis have three times the accident rate of human drivers.

Police reported
In training data, way higher. Also, notice I said they kill fewer people. So far that’s true
Waymos got 220 million miles and 0 deaths so far. They’d be close to 3 by now going by human averages. I dont know far they’ll make it, but you know whenever it does happen, there will be a huge uproar.
I’d be curious to see this quantified, and whether “more” takes into consideration that regular taxis far outnumber Robotaxis
Its been done a couple dozen times, always compared on a per-mile basis.
