Comment on Human drivers are to blame for most serious Waymo collisionsparent

Comments

One of the more fascinating consequences of the waymo project starting (back when it was still inside Google, not a bet) was the discovery from the telemetry Waymo collected that actual collisions are underreported by a factor of probably three.

This is because nhtsa's data comes from accident reports and insurance claims, and people get into fender benders everyday that never get reported because nobody wants their rates to go up.
