One thing that really gets me is comparing robotaxis with regular driving. How about comparing robotaxis to... taxis? Would not that be much more sane?

Professional taxi drivers do get into accidents. But their per-distance metric is much better than of an average Joe driving home after 10 hours work shift and a one-too-many pint after work.

Why anyone would ever compare robotaxi to anything else but a regular taxi?
