Most Waymo crashes involve a Waymo 698 00:26:50,315 --> 00:26:52,335 vehicle scrupulously following the rules 699 00:26:52,794 --> 00:26:55,054 when a human runs into them. 700 00:26:55,434 --> 00:26:55,934 So 701 00:26:56,714 --> 00:26:59,775 this is interesting. Waymo's reported 60 crashes 702 00:27:00,670 --> 00:27:03,070 serious enough to trigger an airbag, but those 703 00:27:03,070 --> 00:27:05,309 crashes occurred over 50,000,000 704 00:27:05,309 --> 00:27:05,809 miles. 705 00:27:06,509 --> 00:27:08,750 And if you randomly if you randomly selected 706 00:27:08,750 --> 00:27:11,809 50,000,000 miles of human drying, that's roughly 70 707 00:27:12,430 --> 00:27:14,769 lifetimes behind the wheel.
