I mean, we've been expecting this for a long time. Reaction time and consistency are not human strengths. It's just that there's been a really heavy tail of weird situations where humans actually have an edge. I'm not surprised that in carefully chosen spots, Waymo cars - which have a reputation for being the smartest - blow us out of the water.
