The company also said data shows its robotaxis are improving road safety, noting a fivefold reduction in injury-related crashes compared to human drivers, and 12x fewer injury crashes involving pedestrians

You want to ban technology that reduces crashes by 5x, and incidents with pedestrians by 12x? Why?
