Waymo says there are 1.25 million deaths worldwide per year due to car accidents. 94% of them have at least some human error component.

Honestly, we have to get over this "someone must pay" mentality. If the rate of deaths falls from 1.25 million to 125,000 that will be a 90% drop in deaths. We should not be looking to punish Google or other companies for their contribution in reducing deaths because the status quo isn't good.
