    If you were choosing between getting into a Waymo or a car driven by a human driver (where Waymo operates, for a route that Waymo would do), the data shows that the Waymo is safer.…

    Not sure how other stacks solve this, but with GraphQL the backend defines a `User` type with a full set of fields, and the client specifies only the fields it wants to query. And …
