I kind of drive that way. I slow down, move as far away in my lane from the parked cars as possible. It's certainly what I would expect from a machine that would claim to be as good as the best human driver.

Does Waymo claim that? If so I haven't seen it. That should of course be the goal, but "better than the average human driver" should be the bar.

    If they don't clim that, why would I be interested in their tech?

      Because I'm only an average driver. Definitely not the best and have done no advanced driver training.

      Because we can reduce crashes and fatalities without Waymo being Max Verstappen

      Because replacing average drivers with a better than average one would save lives.

        Ha ha, you should suggest that to them: "Waymo: better than average driving!"

          What's the joke here? If they are better than average drivers, that's a huge win which improves road safety for everyone
