They are running a fleet of taxis around the Bay Area. It's kind of scary because they aren't that safe, given the lack of LIDAR. But they are doing it anyway.

And also, they are driving fully autonomous in Texas and Florida.
So let me guess, fully unsupervised self driving is rolling out "next year" right?
> Miles Driven Autonomously
Is there data to suggest they are unsafe in Austin - as in less safe than a human?
The implication seems to be that Tesla are lying about accidents. It seems like that would easily get caught out. Accidents tend to be things that happen in public.
Overall, I doubt that there's a problem. If there were substantial numbers of significant accidents occurring on public roads that weren't being reported, I think someone would be catching reporting errors. There are a lot of very interested parties watching autonomous vehicles. (competitors, media, etc.)
So then where are all the horrible accidents if they're not safe?
It’s not hard to be better then an average human generally, the issue is liability as when a driverless taxi hits or hurts someone you can’t just go “but we are safer then human drivers!”
