I feel like most of the comments in here didn't even bother reading the article before grabbing the pitchforks.

Waymo robotaxis are so safe that, according to the company’s data, its driverless vehicles are involved in 91 percent fewer crashes compared to human-operated vehicles.

And yet the the company is bracing for the first time when a Waymo does kill somebody — a moment its CEO says society will accept, in exchange for access to its relatively safer driverless cars.

In context, without the clickbait headline, that's a really reasonable take. They accept that statistically, they're safer but due to large numbers and randomness a fatality will eventually happen. And logically, it's preferable to the alternative of many fatalities happening.
