I'm definitely a skeptic when it comes to putting an AI in charge with no manual override of a 3 ton vehicle with humans on board, but having said that, this article didn't provide any meaningful information if these "incidents" per mile driven are higher compared with human drivers? They say they saw "huge increase in incidents". Perhaps there was a "huge" increase in miles driven by these cars?

It is possible likely hood of such incidents per car/mile increased due to a software update or tweaking of some parameters. I heard people often complain self driving cars drive too cautiously. Try to address this, it is pretty certain there will be more incidents. But is it what happened here? We have no idea.

In general I feel the quality of journalist output diminishes in time, or perhaps it was always horrible? How can one do research, spend time talking to people, write an article and don't provide basic numbers?
