waymos do silly things, but people do dangerous things more often like using their phones, get distracted, driving angry/tired, road rages at rush hour, speeding, etc
Lmao the article literally admits the data is cherry picked and only applied on "a limited scale"
It's a limited scale because waymo only operates in bounded areas, not because they cherry picked the data
