> Waymo goes the wrong way on the street

I'm familiar with that intersection in Tempe. There is a bar for beating the average human driver on it, and going to wrong way is sadly not above it.

I'm also not aware of any fatalities resulting from a Waymo accident. (Waymo also doesn't seem to be deluded about its system's safety. That's why they have human drivers on standby, remote and in person.)

From the video, it's hard to see what happened there. It's in the middle of an intersection. It kind of looks like the Waymo vehicle was attempting a left turn but something prevented it from finishing it.

I would not be surprised if the Waymo was left "stranded" in the intersection due to red light runners.

If Waymo is as good as you claim why don't they release data on the number of manual interventions?

They didn't even release the video when a Waymo hit a bike while turning left at an intersection a few months ago.

They do. They report "disconnects" to California's DMV.[1] Collisions are reported in detail.

Tesla doesn't report to CA DMV because they are only a "driver assistance system".
