If the accident data for humans contains information about weather, location, additional complications, then it should be possible to only filter out accidents that are within Waymo's restriction. You'll similarly need to filter the human-driven miles, but a statistical approach doesn't seem to hard.

So ... possible, but TFA doesn't say, of course.

Of course insurance data doesn't contain that.

Have you worked in the real world?

You've unfortunately gotten back in the habit of breaking the site guidelines regularly - not just in this comment but in many others. Examples:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36633867

I had the impression that you'd largely fixed this for quite a long time, which was great, but this is not acceptable. We have to rate-limit and eventually ban accounts that post like this. I don't want to ban you so if you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick properly to the rules, we'd appreciate it.

You need the driving data to contain that, too, not just the accident data to create similar driving profiles. Might not be so easy.
