Also safer than human drivers.

Statistics after hundreds of millions of miles driven are compelling.

But my own subjective confidence in how it drives and the decisions it makes in very challenging and ambiguous situations allow me to trust it far more than most Uber drivers.

With Uber, I feel uneasy to moderately frightened probably three rides in ten. With Waymo I've never felt at risk.

I'm pretty sure Waymo is a safer driver than I am.
