Waymo gets green light in California to pick up passengers in self-driving cars

This is the shittiest handkerchief math ever. Your only considering fatalities- which comprise a small subset of the total number of accidents.

Secondly, you didn't actually provide a comparison. You simply remarked "Oh the chances of dying in a car accident is comparable to the chances of dying due to lightening therefor cars are safe" (whilst ignoring the 2 ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE difference between them, people struck by lightening != people killed by lightening and the fact that cars are not safe, as anyone who has ever driven will tell you).

I provided data and analysis therein. You provided an emotional attack, and a vulgar one at that.

If you have data which supports your premise of:

  U give far to much credit to human drivers.

Then please do so. I await the edification your reasoned data-driven retort will afford.

There's no need for this kind of language. You can make your point and be polite at the same time.
