IIRC, Tesla's safety record is about 30% worse than Waymo. The gap has been closing rapidly. It's not that long time ago Tesla made an order of magnitude more mistakes than Waymo.

That's with safety drivers, a small fleet, and literally only the most recent data (since it wasn't broken out before). My experience with AV deployments is that your incident rate is significantly different once you remove humans, and small fleet sizes/deployment areas hide a lot of long tail issues.

Waymo is operating at a much larger scale across a huge range of conditions with hardware that's generations behind their latest and still performing better.

If that was true they would've already released a full, no safety driver service. They have not.
