Waymo, which was spun out of Google in 2016, has been logging miles on
public roads for more than a decade, and it shows. The half-dozen
rides I took in Waymo cars this year felt safer and smoother than the
Cruise rides I took. And Waymo's safety data is compelling: According
to a study the company conducted with Swiss Re, an insurance firm, in
3.8 million self-driving miles Waymo's cars were significantly less
likely to cause property damage than human-driven cars, and led to no
bodily injury claims whatsoever.
I'll put my cards on the table: I like self-driving cars, and I think
society will be better off once they're widespread. But they have to
be safe, and Waymo's slow-and-steady approach seems better suited to
the task

Hey knuckle head, send this fleet to mountainous roadways that are
