Filed under: I did not see this coming.

Real-world data from Waymo shows that over 220 million miles driven, Waymo vehicles–in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Phoenix, Austin and Atlanta–have 94% fewer serious injuries, 82% fewer air bag deployments, and 93% fewer pedestrian injuries. The evidence has not been independently verified, but it is unusually transparent, large‑scale evidence.

So who would be against autonomous vehicles (AVs) besides gear heads like me?

Trial lawyers. 😂

Lobbies representing troll, I mean trial lawyers are lobbying for the right to sue automakers et al. It turns out trial lawyers earn a huge amount litigating ordinary auto accidents. Go figure.
