> 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.

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