If you want to play that game now we get to compare the number of human operator hours per wet pavement incident vs self-driving cars. A quick google search suggests the estimated number of human drivers on the road today is 1.4 billion. The rest of that calculation is left as an exercise.

If you do a true apples-to-apples comparison between Waymo and humans, the waymo cars are about five times safer.

> Accidents per million miles driven for Waymo self-driving cars are 0.59, compared to the general U.S. rate of 2.98
