When I see systematic things like this I often get suspicious and think there is something more going on (or selection bias. We are human). I think the common model is attributing actions to reckless behavior and people not thinking. This very well may be true! But if people are consistently engaging in a specific behavior (reckless or not) there's usually a reason to it. Reason doesn't mean good reason btw, and it can be as dumb as the previous chimps getting hosed every time they try to get the banana, but that's still a reason. I think if the underlying reason can be found it significantly increases the chances of rectifying the situation.

Until more evidence I'm holding out on taking a side. I think Waymo's safety record is orthogonal to the conversation as with the general safety record of driverless cars (which I am a big fan of fwiw).
