In the recent Santa Monica incident, for example, the Waymo vehicle braked hard before impact — resulting in a “significant reduction in impact speed and severity” that the company said “is a demonstration of the material safety benefit of the Waymo Driver.”

In other words, when our product functions as intended, we expect it to kill some number of children.

Cars cannot be made safe despite what the snake oil salesmen will tell you. The future is not driverless cars, but carless drivers.
