Waymo has released a new study comparing its autonomous vehicle incident data with human driving statistics, aiming for a more accurate "apples-to-apples" comparison by accounting for varying incident rates across different environments and times. This approach contrasts with Tesla's past use of less comparable data to claim significant safety improvements with its Autopilot and FSD supervised systems. Waymo's data suggests that while autonomous vehicles will inevitably make mistakes, the focus should be on whether the rate of these incidents is improving and if the technology offers a greater potential for overall road safety reduction.
