> However crashes and fatalities are something that already happen

Have they? https://robotaxireport.com/data/waymo-vs-tesla-safety-record...

p.s. as for waymo vs tesla - tesla has 10x less vehicles so far and only recently significantly added to the fleet. Given the scrutiny they receive and faux pass waymo has been getting, I don't think robotaxi crash rate will outnumber waymo. but of course there are people with mental health issues that crash into them on purpose, so idk.

You misread them.

They're saying that human accidents happen at a much higher rate while self driving cars nearly never have accidents, yet people fixate on the relatively few examples when self driving cars do have accidents.

If human drivers were held to anywhere near the standard that robots were then nobody could drive.
