well we're comparing waymo to tesla here and tesla is crashing a lot? more than waymo. 4 crashes in 250k miles versus like 10 in nearly 50 million?

From this article, Tesla crashes 50% more often. But hard to compare when one has a human safety driver and the other does not.

> the report finds that Tesla Robotaxis crash approximately once every 62,500 miles. Waymo vehicles, which have been involved in 1,267 crashes since the service went live, crash approximately every 98,600 miles. And, again, Waymo does not have human safety monitors inside its vehicles, unlike Tesla's Robotaxis.

how is it hard to compare? the company with a safety driver has more crashes. the comparison is easily made in that it makes it even worse

I think you also need to consider blame and severity, rather than raw crash numbers.

Tesla response:

Everything is caused by human safety drivers making mistakes. It's never the AI.

hmm, seems like the 1267 crashes includes general interruptions (like people hitting the car)
