    It’s not really an apple-to-apples comparison. These are taxis, so they should only be compared to professional taxi drivers. Then, unless you’re comparing per ride statistics, you have to factor in the fact that drivers typically park in between customers while AVs roam leading to additional traffic and chances for “glitches”.

    This is before you begin to consider whether AV taxis are a societal benefit in one of the least car-centric places in the country.
