Haha. America is a such weird place. What is the benefit of having one of these things pick you up vs. inherit risks?

You're forgiven for thinking English is my native language. :)

I only ever correct mistakes like that if I think it would be something a non-native speaker might appreciate. I'm not trying to score points.

At present, autonomous vehicle have three times as many accidents as human-driven vehicles on average (accidents in total, not fatalities). Waymo is much better than Tesla about taking precautions, but it’s still a circus at the expense of regular drivers as seen above.
