You know what has even better safety statistics? Public transit including buses and trains.

Cycling also has better statistics when the infrastructure is given real attention, and it leads to better health outcomes.

Those are all options that local governments should consider investing in. Private companies that don't take public money aren't the ones that should be building public transit.

Given that Waymo is testing in Tokyo now (and formerly Cruise), autonomous vehicles are clearly not mutually exclusive with well funded public transit.
