Here is a human that drove into wet concrete: https://www.wlwt.com/article/car-drives-through-wet-concrete...
I'm sure its not that uncommon just not publicized, people are terrible drivers.

So with that in mind Cruise's hive mind controls all it's cars and they need to lose their license immediately before it does what Uber's not ready for prime time car did and killed a pedesterian!
All drivers are better than average drivers.
The problem for all humans is alcohol, sleep deprivation, stress, phones, coffee, makeup, shaving, food, etc.
Everyone, including you, has read at least one text while driving. Sleep deprived actors by definition cannot correctly judge their ability to be sleep deprived. None of us are immune to these realities.
The only way safely (with data) testing self-driving robots is “net worsening” for humanity is if you aren’t taking a long term view.
What is that supposed to mean?
Especially 'by definition'??
Your body gives you plenty of feedback for sleep deprivation.
The answer is, at a minimum, that a second “sober” party make that judgement.
I think I understand your original post better now, but I disagree with how high of a bar you're setting for "correctly". "Am I sleep deprived?" is not a question that needs precise measurement.
No.
Driving is one of two things I regularly do in which a moment’s inattention could cost someone’s life (belaying climbers is the other). I take both very seriously. I’ve seen brains spilled out on the roadway by someone who didn’t, and I’ll never forget that.
I have not and will not touch my phone while driving, and I obnoxiously ridicule those close to me that choose to do so near me.
It sounds like YOU'RE in denial and trying to convince yourself that it's absolutely unquestionably ubiquitous -- it's not, and it's a danger to yourself and even to those others on the road that made better choices.
I know that’s not-done around here, but I must admit it makes the eventual slip up just slightly more delicious.
All Waymo cars could simultaneously degrade due to an update (or hack). Imagine if all them did full left at the same time.
Of course software bugs will be introduced, and later rectified. We live in an imperfect world.
Quick look up of current numbers - without double checking whether it's over the life of the program, or just the latest year, or what:
Waymo one crash per 1.26 million miles
American humans overall one per 484,000 miles or 552,983 miles depending on the yr or something.
Younger drivers, something like 3 times the average.
And that's when Waymo reports automatically while many human collisions don't need reporting.
> Autonomous cars improve more slowly than humans do
They can get buggy software updates and maps but otherwise I'll bet on the software.
Yeah by the second or third time people generally learn to keep the throttle up so the wheels don't sink down into the wet concrete.
