> I'm not putting my life in the hands of this software.
If you were a professional driver, you know you put your life in the hands of people right? The average person is a pretty terrible driver. I’ll take a safely trained machine all day every day.
The data disagrees with you, significantly. Level 5 technology is only improving, and you’ll regress over time. A waymo never loses focus or gets distracted or tired in the way humans always will.
100,000 miles as a paid professsional driver and a couple 100k more for pleasure and I never once drove into a telephone pole. But keep talking about the mirage Level 5. I can think of many snap decisions I've had to make to prevent death or serious injury, including once when someone tried to commit suicide by jumping in front of me. I seriously doubt AI ability to outperform me in those situations. You're right, humans do regress, that's why I don't drive anymore. But no matter, Waymo's goal is to put millions of American drivers out of a job and they'll do it no matter what I say. Consider me shouting from the void as I disappear along with my working driver brothers and sisters, who Alphabet couldn't care less about.
