I think this gets at the point I was going to make - Wired probably spent untold hours combing through video requests to find incidents involving driverless vehicles, but tossed out every incident they found where an offending vehicle had a driver. Then they wrote an article about their cherry picked results. I would be curious to see both sets of data.

According to the article, the transportation authority started recording incidents involving driverless vehicles, so Wired didn't have to comb through videos at all. They just requested videos for incidents with driverless vehicles.

As to how many such incidents there were, it wasn't a lot. Quote from the article:

> Agency logs show 12 “driverless” reports from September 2022 through March 8, 2023

Ah, thanks for that. I read through the article but somehow I missed that. So kinda half true.
