A red flag for me is that this is based on third party insurance liability claims. Waymo likely has paid out smaller claims themselves, reducing their own numbers.

The real questionis will this remain when they opperate everywhere. Snow and ice up north. Ronds not yet mapped. Many other things I'm not aware of. I suspect the writting is on the wall for human drivers - they don't need to be prefect to be much better than humans and from there redulators will not allow human drivers.
I highly doubt that
Swiss Re is one of the world's largest insurance companies - do you think they usually lie about such things?

This. It's important to remember that this community is hosted on Futurology. The goal of this instance is to explore future technologies and ideas and we can't do that objectively if we're led by our biases. As humans, we have always hated being surpassed. When someone invented the pulley, there were masses of people that claimed to be better, but reality is cruel. If an insurance company is vouching for technology that without a doubt is causing them to pay out regularly, then they're being objective. Driverless tech is inevitable, but it won't be as common place as to make you feel comfortable about job losses, etc, for a while.
For those of you new to Autonomous Vehicles or Futurology, welcome. There's genuinely some fantastic people here and incredibly high quality posts. I'm biased, but I feel this instance is incredibly underrated.
Oh I can. They operate on well mapped areas, have a cautious driving style, and are consistent. The exact opposite of the average driver.
Blah blah blah, this doesn't fit my narrative.
It's amazing to watch y'all do the same exact shit as trumpers.
And what do you base that on?
