In one day I seen 2 of these cars act crazy. One stopped at a red light then never moved. The cars behind it had to go around once the light turned green. Later another one pulled into a gas station and blocked where you pull in. It turned its hazards on and just stayed there.

Yes, and Waymo literally geofences their taxis into the easiest least challenging parts of the Phoenix metro, which has very easy to navigate roads and it never snows and rarely rains. The Waymo claim of “most challenging” is a lol.

Problem is no accountability. A driver going the wrong way faces reckless driving charges, a criminal offense with potential for a prison sentence. No such thing with driverless cars doing erratic things.

If Waymos had 8 crashes in Phoenix where they've operated with roughly 75 cars since 2000, so for about 4 years, then they averaged about 2 crashes per year, or about 2 crashes / year / (75 cars) = 0.027 crashes/year/car. The NHTSA data says there are over 2 million crashes in the U.S. each year (which are almost all involving human drivers). Consumer Affairs says that Americans spend about 93 billion hours on the road. That means the time-averaged crashes per year per car for American drivers is (2 million crashes / 2 cars) / ( (93 billion hours) / (24 hours/day) / (365.25 days/year) ) = 0.094 crashes/year/car, where I'm guessing each crash involved 2 cars. I get that the Waymos in Phoenix have a collision rate about 0.094 / 0.027 ~ 3.5 times lower than average American driving. Did I get that right?

Nope. No way I would ride in one of those. I'm sure Waymo has their "bean counters" that will determine how many injuries/deaths they can "afford" and still keep making a profit. I know human drivers are not perfect either, but I just can't wrap my head around this.

I wouldn't trust being a passenger. One flaw with driverless technology is they're not people. If a driverless car is zipping down the freeway where the car in front quickly swerves into another lane because the driver noticed a stationary vehicle directly in front of them, the driverless car will just plow right into that car. This has happened. I prefer people drivers.

Most challenging and complex? Waymo cars are literally geofenced to limit them to the LEAST challenging and complex areas of the Phoenix metro to drive in, and the same in SF. Then those areas are mapped with great accuracy and detail, so if it is then colliding with stationary objects while loaded down with cameras, radar, and LiDAR…there is definitely a programming problem.
