That's just a local bias. I used to live where a street turned from two-way to one-way, and people drove the wrong way all the time.

But that doesn't change the fact that human beings are extremely safe drivers. NHTSA reports less than 2 deaths per 100 million miles driven each year from 2010 to 2020: https://cdan.nhtsa.gov/tsftables/National%20Statistics.pdf

Safe compared to Waymo?

Feel free to check my math, but Waymo's 2 accidents in 1,000,000 driverless miles (https://blog.waymo.com/2023/02/first-million-rider-only-mile...) is higher than the rate for human drivers in any of the years from my quick NHTSA stats search.

They've had no fatalities, which is great (and certainly better than other "self-driving" car options)! But it's hard to make really good comparisons as long as Waymo is off by a factor of millions of miles.

Driverless cars aren't the solution to a lot of the problems their companies market them for. Work and shop local. Build public infrastructure.

Mo cars - Way Mo problems.
