They are saying there is safety in crowds.

It's unsafe when there's lots of people, it's unsafe when there's no people. Basically they're saying it's unsafe no matter what, which just isn't true. Subway systems are an everyday part of life in many cities.

I think they are saying you are safe with a crowd, and safe with no people.

They are also claiming that Waymo will have compulsory ride sharing for some reason, and therefore wont be safe (I dont agree with this part)

The situation you want to avoid on a train or car is being trapped in a shared space with only a crazy person.

I see, but that's a very contrived situation. I think in that situation you just tell the Waymo to pull over and get out. The world is not a utopia. There will always be some sort of risk to everything we do

I agree with you that it is a contrived situation. I agree with them that the danger is highest when you are isolated with an unknown stranger.
