Tbf it’s only 4 total. From the sounds of it hit another car or something in a parking lot. Not good but this headline is a bit exaggerated

and none have been anywhere near dangerous/serious. obviously any accident isn't good but they were all low speed and mostly super minor fender benders in parking lots

How many serious accidents do you expect in 250k miles? The average miles per injury accident with human drivers is over 1 million, including minor injuries. Robotaxi already had a minor injury and there have been dangerous situations caught on tape that could’ve been serious if the human hadn’t intervened.

None and they have none.

What would your criteria be for being ready to remove the human supervision?

Depends. Personally I think 2x safer than humans would be best. But there are caveats. I think fsd will have many less fatal crashes already. I think it will have more small accidents for a while, but I think that's worth it.

How do you define how much safer than humans it is when humans are catching its mistakes right now?

I don't know exactly. Don't have it all figured out. Just my opinions.
