This week on the Plugged-In Podcast, we cover cars you can't drive, a car you can't afford to drive, and, finally, a car you wish you could drive.
First up, Mack and I discuss a new report from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety that tried to answer a big question facing the robotaxi world: Are autonomous vehicles actually safer than human drivers? The researchers found that, yes, Waymos get into fewer crashes than humans. But they also warned that making that comparison is surprisingly difficult. Mack heard from one of the study's authors at a conference this week and gives us the lowdown.
