Yes, their interpretation of Swiss Re is open to debate. That said, I suspect self-driving cars are already safer per kilometer than human driven cars.

Also, they'll only keep getting better, while human abilities plateau.

"Waymo cars are safer!"

We don't actually know that, specifically because Waymo wants to keep the data away from us that we might use to verify it.

"Swiss Re is trustworthy and they say they're safer!"

They don't actually say that.

"I suspect it's true though!"
