The difference is those human-driven cars all have a driver who can be held accountable.

If I kill someone with my car, I’m probably going to jail. If a Waymo or otherwise kills someone, who’s going to jail?

This is rarely true in the US. A driver's license is a license to kill with near impunity.

Should Waymo hire an "accountable" human who would go to jail if a Waymo car kills someone?

"Accountability" is fucking worthless, and I am tired of pretending otherwise.

Presumably, like Cruise, if the safety rate is appalling then they get their permits revoked which is 99% the same as jail for a company that only does self driving cars.

So this is very much not at all true.

My entire point is that we don’t care about human lives on our roads. So yelling about the safety concerns about Waymos makes no sense.
