Waymos drive in a rather different environment. They do not drive in poor weather or on highways. They also drive much more cautiously (read: slower) and slow down others. Net effect on safety is not that easy to measure.

Not crashing yourself is not enough. You could accomplish that by driving 10mph always, but you'd be causing accidents all around you.
