Fear of self-driving cars is everywhere—but the numbers tell a different story. We dig into AV safety, human error, crash severity, and why autonomy could be a massive life-saving upgrade. We compare Tesla FSD (and Autopilot) vs Waymo’s sensor stack—vision-first AI versus LiDAR + maps—plus who scales faster, what’s already working today, and what the real crash data actually says.
(Episode 1 of the Tech Doom Detox! Admittedly this is poor quality all around. However, it's better to make something exist first and then later make it better, rather than striving for initial perfection.)
