Where does the 500,000 miles number come from? I presume that isn't "a human had to do something", but rather "the human driving the car was about to have an accident that another human in the loop being less stupid could have avoided". But I would like to know...
> Will Lockett: Oh, This Is Bad News for Tesla! <https://www.planetearthandbeyond.co/p/oh-this-is-bad-news-for-tesla>: 'Waymo is the safest so far, with an average critical disengagement every 17,060 miles. In other words, every 17,060 miles, someone has to intervene to prevent an accident, whether that person is a passenger, a remote operator, or similar. By comparison, human drivers have, on average, roughly one incident every 500,000 miles!...
When Apple was selling for a dollar fifteen a share, people who owned iPads and iPods and MacBooks had nothing bad to say about them but only raved about ease of use and intuitive genius. I bought 5000 shares. I never gamble.
I have never heard anyone say “I love my self driving car.” Tesla is for gambling addicts. Apple was not a dream. It was a success story before people invested in it enough to drive up the price.

I think this comparison is apples and oranges. I've driven less than 500 000 miles in my life, and I'm a cautious driver. I've had to slam on the brakes, or swerve to avoid a crash lots of times, as well as having three or four minor bingles. None of these were reported to anybody, except one time when I was rear-ended while stopped at lights. I suspect "incident" means something more serious than "critical disengagement".
