You're moving the goalposts. The claim is that Waymos are safer than human drivers in the areas and under the conditions where they currently operate.
Yeah, I'm sure Waymos would struggle in a blizzard in Duluth, but a) so would a human and b) Waymos aren't driving there. (Yet.)
> You're moving the goalposts
No. I'm not. I'm being realistic about the technology. You're artificially limiting the scope.
> so would a human
This is goalpost moving 101. The question isn't would a human driver also struggle but _would it be better_? You have zero data.

It is not moving the goalpost to say "so would a human". Comparison to human drivers is exactly the stated goalpost (and it should be).
> You have zero data.
Outrageously uninformed take. We have mountains of data that show Waymos in aggregate are safer drivers than humans.
