the analysis excluded minor incidents involving Waymos that would likely not have been reported to the police had a human been driving,”

I feel like this is a pretty glaring flaw in the study..... They got to redefine what they consider to be a collision and ended up negating nearly 80% of the reports. Something tells me they didn't comb through the data from human reports and do the same.
