In the Bay Area they have human supervisors but in Austin they are autonomous.

Is there data to suggest they are unsafe in Austin - as in less safe than a human?

They're working hard to not release any of their safety data, unlike all the other autonomous car companies.

I’m not sure these self-reported numbers are trustworthy considering they report “0 robotaxi injuries” when a cursory Google search turns up this article claiming 249 Roboxtaxi accidents in Austin and at least two injuries that required hospital visits. Which is at least two more than “0 injuries”.

Those were Waymos…

Yes. My mistake. It seems that the article is grouping all autonomous taxis under the title of "Cybertaxi", which is where I was confused.
