Results demonstrate that the Waymo ADS significantly outperformed both the overall driving population (88% reduction in property damage claims, 92% in bodily injury claims), and outperformed the more stringent latest-generation HDV benchmark (86% reduction in property damage claims and 90% in bodily injury claims).

So one day my car insurance company will tell me: "you have to pay us more because you are driving yourself".

As it should. You’re objectively higher risk, particularly if you’ve ever been at fault for a crash or gotten a ticket.

This would be excellent! I expect it also costs more to insure a hydrogen-powered zeppellin compared to more modern and stable technologies.

The best part isnt that you would pay the same and less if a bot does it, you will pay the same when bot drives and extra when you do.

it's certainly based on route selection than driver vs robot. if you put even teenage drivers on the waymo covered routes and compare with average it would probably have the same drop.

If that is the case then this paper should be redacted.
