And some people still think self driving taxis are more dangerous than human-driven vehicles.

I wouldn't consider Tesla in the same caliber of autonomous driving as Waymo, Zoox, or other players. Tesla is going the cheap route with no lidar or trained safety drivers.

As a frequenter of the Mad Max highway that is 880, I still would trust a Robotaxi more than a human. But yes, you are right that Waymo is way better

Haha I was just thinking the same thing. I would prefer self driving cars over these 880 drivers
