"FOX 10 reached out to Waymo to learn more about the potential for errors while operating. In a statement, Waymo said, "Waymo cars are better drivers than humans and are three-and-a-half times more likely to avoid crashes."In the case last month involving police, Waymo says the construction signage on 7th and Osborn Road was inconsistent, and because the officer blocked the car, it had to impede oncoming traffic.
