> Waymo is now completing 450,000 weekly driverless rides across six cities, with a peer-reviewed study showing statistically significantly lower crash rates than human drivers across 56.7 million rider-only miles. When Waymo’s vehicles were caught passing school buses, the company filed a voluntary recall within weeks. Tesla, on the other hand, is now on its second deadline extension just to tell NHTSA about FSD’s traffic violations.

That, in itself, is saying more than anything else

What's bad about passing a school bus? Were they passing it on the right-hand side?

It's illegal to pass a school bus when the lights are on / stop arm is extended. That's why they have the stop-sign on the driver's side of the bus.

The article forgot to mention that but the assumption is that (a) a reasonable driver would know that and (b) their audience probably remembered that happening, since it was only a few months ago IIRC.

Some countries have this crazy extremist concept that 0 children should die in traffic. I know crazy.

The law likes to protect braindead children who seek their own death.
