Waymo's driverless cars continue to crash less often than people

Absolutely untrue. This is not supported in any data because an apples to apples comparison is not possible. For this to be true or a comparison to even be possible, this company would need to have their vehicles work in any place a regular car and human driver can be placed today, while their products are geo-fenced.

I love Waymo, but this is devoid of the basic questions that a journalist should be asking when verifying claims through a critical lens. Is the comparison provided to the journalist here possible to make? Why not mention that? Rehashing PR requires vetting, right?

A misleading and hastily AI-assisted article, Andrew.
