Have you been in a Waymo? SAE Level 4 is here, and it’s safer than humans [1].

Not the OP, but I have! I also have FSD v14 in my Tesla
Vastly VASTLY prefer Waymo. It's very good at its mission and is, at minimum, infinitely better than being in an Uber rideshare. I'd rather wait 20 minutes for a Waymo than 5 for any Uber or 0 to use my own car.
Ironically, Waymo got me much more interested in using my city's public transportation offering which is much better than I previously thought.
That said, Tesla FSD v14 is the best autonomous option for a supervised system that you can actually use.
This is Waymo saying Waymo cars are safer than humans. Obviously the "it’s safer than humans" claim is selection biased, statistically underpowered apples-to-oranges comparison with limited sample size

I haven't seen a good criticism of their methodology. If you have one, I'd be curious about their take.
On a more-direct measure, Waymos have had starkly lower fatalities and at-risk incidents than human drivers on average and, I think, near their best.
