To close this off, here's the same data using the 4 Waymo categories, compared to Waymo and humans:

Oh, very clever. Tesla is using a really strange definition of "injured"; in practice, Tesla's SGO data lists two events with injuries (thread)
Tesla now has a robotaxi safety page to match Waymo: tesla.com/robotaxi/safety Of course, no Robotaxi has been in a serious crash yet, so it makes for an excellent looking dashboard. But Tesla has driven just over 1% of Waymo's 271 million driverless miles.

Would ordinarily consider it but not for next year's leasing cycle, where I would basically be leasing an apartment based on its orientation to a shuttle bus

The longer the black space, the funnier this kind of edit becomes
What unique geographical constraint does NYC face that Hong Kong, Seattle, or Tampa Bay does not? Hong Kong faces even greater physical limitations, with residential property exceeding $2,000 per square foot in some markets, compared with approximately $1,540 in Manhattan, $410 in metropolitan Seattle, and $226 in Tampa Bay. Seattle and Tampa also face substantial geographical constraints, yet their housing markets are comparatively affordable because they lack New York's extraordinary concentration of wealth, international investment, and competition for prime real estate. More importantly, NYC's population remains below its 2020 peak despite rising housing prices, undermining the argument that population growth or physical scarcity alone explains escalating costs. Housing prices reflect purchasing power, location desirability, investment demand, and available supply.

People want there to be nuance so badly and the issue is also so profoundly not-nuanced

NJT says union members aren't showing up to work, union says NJT needs to hire more people. It's during disputes like these that I get most frustrated by the existence of unions, there must be some communication failure here
Three years ago @NJTRANSIT riders thought the problem of trains cancelled because of “train crew availability” was fixed, with just one train cancelled for that reason in 2023. So far this year, that number is 803. I tried to figure out why that is. northjersey.com/story/news/t…
