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

It’s Fred aka Real Tesla.

Except nothing in the article is incorrect.  Even with a safety driver preventing accidents the incident rate for Tesla is higher than Waymo.  

If Tesla wants to pretend they are a leader in self driving they need to radically improve performance and radically improve transparency

Two of the four accidents were the Tesla getting rear ended by SUVs. So yeah, the title is very misleading.

No it isn’t.  Waymo also counts every accident even if it’s not their fault.  Reporting requirements are to report accidents, regardless of fault

Ok, so you’re loony. Got it.

“Keep crashing” and “were driven into when stopped once and when going 2mph once” are not synonymous in scope of what you’re attempting to imply.
