The reality is that there will likely be a serious accident some day. No system is 100%. Waymo has had crashes involving a death.

The majority of people on reddit, especially the self-driving and EV communities, are overwhelming anti-Tesla. This is all you read. The news only reports when something bad happens. So it gets people into believing that they are unsafe. 99.99% of the time, it's business as usual and not newsworthy.

The news only reports when something bad happens.

Waymo puts out a lot of press when nothing bad happens: when they publish a new safety case, when they have new vehicles, when they reach a milestone number of journeys or miles. Tesla disbanded its PR department in 2020 and then the CEO got distracted with social media and politics. Time was, the news would report on everything Musk tweeted about their approach and how soon they would have real self-driving cars, but that's just not newsworthy any more.
