I've tried the various flavors of self-driving in my Tesla over the past several years, and essentially it came down to a three-strikes rule for me - after the third time that car jerkily exited the self-driving mode on it own (the third time being in a slight bend on the highway at night) and spiked my heart rate to must have been an all-time high as I manually corrected in time to avoid disaster.. I said "nope, this is a decent electric car but I'm driving it myself from now on."

Waymo on the other hand, I trust it with my life on a weekly basis and have never had cause for concern (fingers crossed I didn't just jinx it).

Three strikes is a lot of leniency to give to a machine that is carrying you and loved ones down the road at 70mph. The minute I saw a single instance of unexpected steering, braking, or accelerating behavior out of a car that is not damaged, I'd be returning it under warranty.
